78 hp dana 44 axle problem

[deerecrossing]

alright so i get radius arms from a 73-79 truck, i get coil pads for a 73-79 truck...the coil pad holes should line up with the radius arm holes so they can be bolted together but they dont, there off like 1/2 an inch. what is going on and what should i do.the end caps and the radius arm are all they way together and they still dont line up

a 1/2 inch is a long ways. I think you probably did something wrong. try again.

post some pictures. that will help

Redrill the holes?

you have either early truck radius arms and 78/79 bronco cups or vise versa. measure the holes in the cups from center to center. i have some if they will work for you , ill trade you.
that is definately your problem. do not re-drill them.

I know EB's (Early Bronco's for you Jeep dudes) have holes closer together.

quote :alright from center of the hole to center of the hole on the end cap and arm are 1 inch and 3/8, the cup holes center to center are 1 inch let me know if you have something close to the 1 and 3/8 thanks
