I'll try to make this short. I'm going to start back on my project that has been sitting in a field for the past few years. A few years ago I purchased a 8 lug FW HP D44 and D60 out of 79 F250. At that time I planned on swaping them into my 69 because I needed upgraded axles (D30 & SB 9") got 4wheeling. I have a wanted add right now for a 76-77 EB D44 and BB 9" because I think it would be much easier to swap in a set of stock axles.
I guess what I'm getting at is what do you guys feel would be a better/cheaper option? I'm sure the FW's and stockers would need to be completely gone through so I will have that cost for both. FW I will have to fab them in and come up with a steering system. My fab skills are limited so the EB axles are looking good right now. The only plus for the FW is I already own them.
The body is ready to come off the frame and the motor will be removed so working on the axle swap should be a little easier.
Thanks,
Jaromy
