rear end swap
I've been searching the threads and can't seem to find any detailed write up on complete rear swaps i.e. (simple bolt in). If someone would be so kind as to point me in the right direction I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks everyone

I have a page on my web site for swapping a 9" into a '48-52, I would assume it's pretty much the same as the later trucks:

There's also this FTE page that is very helpful:

I have an 8 3/4" rear out of an Explorer. It has disc brakes and posi. I had to grind off some mounts and then re-weld on the mounts that came with my rear spring kit. I got the entire suspension as a kit from Yogi's, if I remember correctly. Wasn't particularly hard to do.
