Narrowing axles from a 77 F150 4x4 - Crawdad - 05-16-2013
Doesn't look like a will be getting my money back on the 77 I bought last year. So I am pondering the thought of using a lot of the stuff from it like I originally wanted to do. I have been searching but can't seem to find any tech articles on cutting/ narrowing full width front and rear axles. Any one have any good links?
Also, anyone put in a 400 block in an early bronco?

There's a good reason. Sell the axles. You'll be lots of time and money ahead.
Someone asked about the 400 swap on classic. I think that is what Bax runs. Sounds like a tight fit.

Why not run the full width stuff. Looks great under a bronco.

He's going to build a LUBR on the next project. Full width might not be the hot ticket. Otherwise I agree with ya!

Got ya. In that case. I have a EB 77 housing. No third member. It is set up for a Warn Full float kit that I still have. Will sell just the housing or the kit and housing.
Then, source a drum brake front end and put the full width brake parts on it.

Thx for the offer, but will have to pass on it. I have a Banjo lined up to buy but my connection came down with a new baby and is occupied all the time now! I decided to keep the 77 f150 4x4 and part it out.
