Hey guys,
Thanks for all the info. This has been more than helpful. Mr. N - your article is now bookmarked. Very detailed and tons of info.
I have been keeping an eye out for axles for a while. By mid-end of summer I will have bought a house and will have somewhere to work on my jeep (my apartment parking lot isn't exactly prime for axle swaps

). I looked through some classifieds and surprisingly found two F-150 extended cabs, a 78 and a 79, both for under $1000 and both in good running condition. It was my idea to purchase a similar vehicle and take the front axle, and maybe the rear, but I didn't know what rear it had (and part out the rest of the truck). I have nothing against the Ford 9", but I worry about pinion angles, plus someday I might swap in a 5.9L Magnum, which is why I was leaning towards a D60 semi-float. But I would need to match the lug patterns. I did some searching and found that it is possible to take a D60 and put on 9" ends and 35 spline axles, allowing for discs and a 5 lug pattern. This would give me everything I want, D60, 5 lug, discs and not to mention, heck yeah, a DANA 60 under my YJ.

Greg (a member of POR) was nice enough to email me with pics of his D60 with waggy discs and a warn full floater kit with 5x5.5.
The good thing is that my idea is possible, though it may be expensive. And knowing that a 9" is in the rear of the F-150 ext, I can just look for the 44 high pinion front and go looking for a 60. Thanks again for everyone's help. I appreciate it.
