sas swap?

I have a 88 f-150 with a 4 inch lift. I mud this truck alot. I found a econoline 4x4 van with a solid front axle and coil springs,It has auto hubs. Can i take that axle out and swap it with mine fairly easily? and is this axle any good?

Hard to tell what axle it is But probably a dana 44 Thats what mine had. . But get rid of the auto hubs and if can make fit fine . I have had a van conversion 4x4 they usually use good stuff. If the van is about same year ( and motor check and see if it has Saginaw power steering pump put pump bracket and hoses on your truck it will turn those mudders better.

My guess is the van is around 86-88. I will check to see what motor it is. Where can i get manual hubs? will my manual hubs off my ifs work if they are both d44's? Has anyone done this before?
