1980 Front Axle Identification - Pirate4x4.Com : 4x4 and Off-Road Forum

Is it possible to tell a 1980 Scout 44 with the 2 degrees of caster from a pre 1980 with zero caster?

I just found a 1980 scout but someone already robbed the dana 300 and I was thinking they might have taken the front axle too and swapped in another one from a earlier scout...

Is there a way to tell?

Get out your angle finder and measure it...
