I just need facts
Ok so im pretty sick of sifting though 50 pages of back and forth banter about Dana 44 swaps. All im looking for is simple instructions on how to do a D44 straight axle swap into my 89 F150. Im not building a monster, i just need something different and stronger. I have a front end lined up from a 78 F150 so i just need some guidance. What parts will i need to buy, what can i fab and where can i look when i get stumped. when i do the swap (in 2 weeks) im completely rebuilding the front end and adding some moog 844s, if possible. i just want to clear some 35's and i dont mind trimming the body. Im a farmboy on a budget and i have all the basic tools and a welder at hand and a couple FBHs if the going gets rough.

just a stab in the dark but maybe if you looked in the tech sticky at the top of the page you'd find a couple build threads. I think 9.ford.5 has a pretty good one with pics.
If searching is too much work maybe the axle swap is also.

Yeah i'll have to agree with Alpha. Search the tech thread at the top.. if you have any questions after reading that, well then just ask..

Might do you some good to read up, there are plenty of builds so there is no reason someone should retype the build in this thread.
