I searched and didn't find anything on this topic so I thought I would ask the question to see what y'all thought about the idea came up with. I am doing a 4wd conversion to a 76 F100 with a 79 D44 from a Bronco. I am trying to do an "on the cheap build" and was thinking of ways to reuse some stuff I have laying around when I had an idea.
the long TIB arms that go from passengr side to driver side and vice-versa are identical to the radius arms (I beam style) on the D44 but the are longer and have a bolt running threw a rubber joint. what I was thinking of doing is using them to chop the radius arm in half then extend them and make a bracket like alot of you have done when useing heims. I plan to beef them up by laying steel inside of the "I" like when you wrist an arm.
if y'all need pics I can probably get them up, but I was realy just wondering if y'all thought that would be unsafe? I am building this to drive on the street from time to time but mostly off road.
and yes, I am looking for a 60 but like I said...I am trying to go on the cheap and the D44 is already here and payed for.
