Converting to auto manuale hubs

Any one know the sline count of the outer axleshaft in the front dana 60 on a 94 F350? I'm contemplating converting to the hubs off the newer ish trucks that have the vacume actuators and the manual hubs incase the vacume actuators fail. I think the newer outers are 30 spline.

Thanks

Yes, the outer spline count is 30.
I'm not sure if swapping to the 99 up hubs is possible without some major changes because the style of hubs is different.
I have heard of guys going the other way (installing early outers on a late model), but it involved changing the knuckle, outer axle shaft, and wheel hubs/ bearings to make it work. The newer trucks use a unit bearing hub assembly and unique locking hubs.

It'll work with some ducttape, bailling wire and JB weld.

Thanks for the info Jason
