Can't believe I'm actually contemplating this....
But since I am swapping out the front D44 with a HPD44 (triangulating it and doing coil overs), I'm thinking about putting the mate (79 F250) FF D60 in the rear. So couple of questions....
First are brakes - I would like to keep disc brakes - how do I make this happen?
Second - can I rotate (end for end) housing and turn it into a HP D60? I would still be using the drive side of the gears, but I don't know enough about D60's to know if I would then be taking in the shorts because of poor oiling or etc.
Third - What good, if any, would the Warn FF hub conversion do me on this axle?
Fourth - driveline. I don't have the axle in front of me, but I'm assuming it will have a different yoke than my current 1330? What about length, will I need to alter my driveline length as well?
Fifth - I will keep the TJ style bracketry and triangulation like I have now. I will raise the LCA's, though, to give better clearance there...
Sixth - anything else you can think of going wrong that I didn't...
