1964 front axel swap

I have a 1964 f100 with a 302 and c6 transmission. Ive heard i can swap the front axel off of a certain year jeep so I can make it 4-wheel drive powerbrakes and power steering. And I was wondering what the lug pattern was of the jeep.
Thanks for any help.
Sam

jeep lug pattern is 5x5. Why now get a d44 from a 78-79 f150? It will be coil sprung on radius arms.

Is the Axel width the same on a 78-79 as a 64? I know they went to a longer axel at some point.
Any help is appreciated
Thanks
Sam

I believe so, I just bought a 65 tgat someone tried to convert to 4x4. (will be removing soon) It has the axle that I am describing under it. Power brakes and correct lug pattern. The only difference that I see is the radius arm are longer do they used super lift drop down brackets but Inwould think you could relocate the factory ones.

'64 would be leaf sprung under the front. I don't know of any 1/2 ton front axle that would bolt in (except a Chevy). You could find a matched Dana 60 and 44 out of a '76 or newer 3/4 ton.
