Anyone done a coil sprung HP60 SAS?

[82F100SWB]

I just picked myself up a 90 F350 2wd, 351W, ZF, 160K miles, it was cheap($1000) and has the SB ZF, so I had to have it... :D I'm going to put a late HP60 under the nose if my spare doesn't need re-building, but, even though I have all the parts I need to put it under there with leaf springs, I had this brainwave(or brainfart...) to stay with coils under the nose. I've got a late 70's F150 4x4, and a 76 EB I could steal parts from. Or should I just go the "easy" route and go with leafs? Or, leave it 2wd, get my ass in gear and put my good HP60 under the nose of the F250(460/T19/1345/D50/10.25 FF), and use the F350 as my daily driver.... LOL

I put a D60 coil under a fullsize bronco, its easy

The only thing that would make it hard is if it is a late model 60. Then it has the wide spread spring perches. If you you try to use the radius arms from the F-150 there isn't much room between the knuckle and the diff for the radius arms to mount. If you can get it mounted I think it would put the radius arms where the tires would rub them like crazy.

Is close, but you just have to grind down the "C" a little then grind down the housing a little as well

It's an '89 HP 60.
The front end in a 2wd F350 is the same basic design as a F150(and, F150 TTB and TIB are interchangeable, If I was feeling really stupid, I could put an 8 lug converted D44 TTB in there easily,) so, if it can be done in a FSB, I shouldn't have much trouble building a similar setup for the F350. Now, if I could just remember where my divorce mount NP 205 is.....
