Ok heres the deal i found a 1978 Ford F-150 with a dana 44 front end and a 9" rear end here in troy....now i want to go buy this thing and take the parts off it to use on a sas...what im wanting to know is if any one close would be willing to help strip down the parts i need off the thing that can be saved or used...and if you want maybe come join me on picking this thing up?

yea i think after reading his sas thread im defently getting the supperduty shock mounts...im just hopeing this guy still has the truck sitting his his yard and he emails me back....i want to see how do the springs look on it...theres suppose to be like 4" of lift higher then the stock 78 f150 leafs...if they look good i think they will work...i mean there on an old f150 but who knows the motor is gone so i have no idea how good they are...

hmmm i wasent sure if it was coil or leafs...i guess for the price if its coils and if the guy emails me back then i guess i will just run the coils i just need to find the right spring bracket to use on the truck...any one know where to get one...and whats the pros and cons of running the compared to leafs?

hmm well i guess i may have to put this on the back burner till i can find the right dana 44 axel...it just seems like it will be a pain in the *** to make the axel with the coil springs work on my truck...one of my buddys who restores jeeps is going to keep an eye out for me...hes telling me to just use a dana 30 since my truck really isnt going to go any bigger then 33's....but i think that axel might be to weak...

well, if your going to run a d30 i have a spare yj axle laying around and i know someone that has a tj axle without the disconnect.
if you ran a tj axle you will need to buy spring perches, you would have to anyways if you plan to go SOA.
you would also be able to keep your stock bolt pattern.
