Gah...I planned on having this done this time LAST year..but decided to go 3/4 ton while it was under the knife.
Anyways that's a GM HD44 4.09 8 lug set up for high steer (although I'm starting to wonder if I'll need a spacer..won't know. No one's posted about ever doing this swap while keeping the outboard 2" springs..we'll see soon).
It's all rolled in the garage, next step is to drop the old 44, fit the awesome Tad 2" perches on the Hd44, and see what lines up.
Rear is getting a D60..thought I had a perfect coming from a member, but that's obviously not happening, so going to use a dodge one I have that came sans brakehardware a few years ago from another member (gee thanks man). Pricing ready to go loaded drum backing plates at 400 dollars, it's same amount to do a disc brake conversion (70 for brackets, 150 for loaded calipers, 80 for rotors and toss in another 30 or so for misc crap). It'll need a 1310 yoke and perches welded on that too (have Tad's 7" antiwrap 1" lift ones for that...burly units to say the least).
Time to start grindin' and tack weldin'. Ouray 2010 or Bust

I ran one of those air cleaners back in the day, one on a Lincoln and two on a tunnel ram set up on a 440. Be careful with back fires, if that is the original foam element than do catch on fire.....
Truck looks good.Breakfast amounts to one live toad, I choke that mofo down, and I am rest assured that nothing worse will happen to me for the rest of the day.

:P no, but I need a couch! Spare headliner panels.
Thanks guys. Itchin to get this piggy done! I can't believe how much oil can leak out of a 327 over 2 years..there must be a hidden 55 gallon drum in there somewhere.1979 Chero S "Sundog" 1979 Chero S "Hammer"

I picked up a Dodge D60 to throw under my J truck and realized after that it isn't wide enough between the backing plates to clear the springs.
IIRC there is 53" from outside to outside on the truck springs. That put the perches dang near against the backing plates on the Dodge truck D60.
You did measure that..right?1994 YJ

Hmm..think I did. Pretty sure I came up with 55 or so. I'll recheck that..originally got it for putting under my Cherokee. I am going to do a disc brake conversion on it..the dodge hubs wrap back in towards the spring (fat lip). I know when I compared to the j10 d44 it was .5 inch narrower so called it good.1979 Chero S "Sundog" 1979 Chero S "Hammer"

Lookin' good!
Man, everyone is getting or showing off their J-trucks and I already want one (J-20). You guys just keep adding to the fire!
Ryan, even though it looks like you already have an axle, have you considered a Sterling axle from a Ford? I'm using one for my Explorer. The one I have (SRW F-350) is 66.5" WMS-WMS. Not sure about the spring pad spacing--I can probably check this weekend if you want. Sterling bonuses: beefy, common, don't have to pull hubs to do brakes! The one I got was already a 4.10 ratio. It's getting 5.38s, though.Last edited by SVO42; 11-02-2009, 11:30 AM.Bryan's vehicles at the Joplin (Full Size) Jeep Refuge:

I hadn't considered it no. Not a bad idea, but I sorta like the idea of running the same discs front and rear, GM 3/4 ton stuff. Also, does the ford use standard 8 lug pattern like chevy and dodge? (although I found the dang studs on the dodge axle are smaller, those need to be pounded out and replaced, which isn't a bad idea anyways to use longer ones).1979 Chero S "Sundog" 1979 Chero S "Hammer"

Up until '99, yes. 8 on 6.5". With the advent of the "Superduty" moniker in '99 it went to 8 on 170mm.Originally posted by Gambler68
The shafts are nice and beefy, too. 1.5" diameter and 35 spline.

Interesting, I will keep that open as an option. Certainly are tons of Fords out here.1979 Chero S "Sundog" 1979 Chero S "Hammer"

One more step done..time for lunch!
Man it looked so cool with the 315/75/16 rollers under there, filled up them M715 wheelwheels alot better than 30's
just some fuzzy blackberry pics best I could get in the garage. Tie rod should clear but it looks like I'm in the market for a spacer for the steering arm. At least the studs are long enough to put one on..they'll be flush with the top of the stud end but this isn't a daily driver.
next step..fit in and tack the 1" lift lift perches...with the outboard 2" FSJ springs I have about 5 inches from center of spring pack bolt to the first inner weld behind the knuckles on the tube..plenty of room up front
Haven't figured out shock tabs, prolly weld on some later1979 Chero S "Sundog" 1979 Chero S "Hammer"
