I picked up a Lp44 from a 76 f250 off the forum a week or two ago. My question is I thought all fords ran a 5 bolt spindle but this axle has 6 bolt spindles. Neither knuckle has been tapped like a Chevy would be tho. Did ford ever run a 6 bolt spindle? Both knuckles are flat top also. Thanks
 
It is open knuckle or closed? If I'm not mistaken the high pinion stuff used a 5 bolt spindle and the low pinion was 6 bolt. Should just be able to swap knuckles and outers.
 
The reason I picked this axle up is to use the 8 lug stuff on my hp44 going under my jeep. I'm just going to use the knuckles out and everything should work like its supposed to
 
Just make sure the brakes and such aren't hard to find. Certain year model Ford stuff can be a pain in the arse to get a hold of. I agree though, the plan sounds good.
 
I hope its not hard to find stuff for this axle. And sorry I forgot to add that it is a open knuckle axle. It does have the 'BIG' lockouts on it tho but the breaks look to be Chevy as well
