Subject vehicle is an 82 f150 4x4, 300 six, shortbed, 4 speed NP435 & NP208 Tcase, factory dual front shock setup.
Basically I am sick of this TTB front end and want to get rid of it quick! I was browsing on craigslist and came across a Dana 60 front end from a 78 F350 that has been converted to run with the coils and radius arm setup, however, it is for a 79 and older F150.
My main question is, are the 79 and older F150s radius arms different from the 80 and ups? I believe that they are longer but I just want to double check.
Could I use the 79's radius arm brackets on the 82?
Would I have to use the 79's coil buckets or could I use my current ones? (keep in mind my 82 has the dual shock setup)
Can I use my current steering box so long as I get the trac bar, etc from the 79?
Thanks in advance, Just trying to get some basic info for now!
