Do a search on here for SAS and go to Yahoo and do a Solid Axle Swap search on there. Alot of sites will come up with detailed pictures.
When I was planning my SAS on my '92 I was going to use this site for my design

Well.......how do you plan on setting up the axle? Coils or leafs? If coils, 3,4 or 5 link?
You might call the guys at www.bluetorchfab.com and see how they can help you.

You can do the swap with practially 99% stock parts.
What you need:
6" lift or greater coils for 78/79 bronco.
'77 Tierod
90's F350 4x4 draglink
(If the axle has disc brakes) reuse your calipers with 77 brakepads
extended brake lines
'77 trac-bar.
'77 radius arms, brackets, coil pads
7deg c bushings
what you need to make:
tracbar mount, must run parallel to the draglink
for the radius arm brackets you can either cut the face of the bracket and move them in 21deg. Or i have heard of offset degree radius arm bushings.

I posted my SAS parts list earlier, do a "SAS" search in this forum, and my list is under "jimmydean's" thread. I used 4" 78/79 coils, and they worked perfect. I also have swap pics in my gallery. I've seen about 15-20 different sas for these trucks, and I never saw 2 the same. You'll find a way. Good luck.
