SAS question?

[VeS206]

I have a question for all you doing SAS's? Would a Ford 9inch in the rear and Dana 44 (or 60) work in the front ? I am really tempted to do a custom SAS cuz my buddy can hook me up with a few parts that i would need. Thanks

Almost anything will work as long as it is strong enough, has the same track width and offers the same gearing. If it fits the above criteria, then you should be golden.

youd better know what your getting yourself into not as easy as just swapping in axles

[houdini]

those axles would work....but remember...fabrication ain't that easy. do some reading up on the topic and give some thought to the width of those axles, what it takes to make those brakes work, steering, suspension, driveshaft angles, etc.

its a big project.

that is the same set up i will be running on my truck as soon as i get the third for the 9 inch. but like everyone said its alot of work setting it all up. if you know what youre getting into go for it!

To the Ford 9in do`t go crazy looking for one cuz most stock 9 inch only have 28 spline axle shafts . I have heard the dana44 from the mid 70s were a neat sawp

That's what I plan on using-already bought the axles from a '78 Ford F-150

Ill be looking more into it. I really think it would be an awesome winter project for me and my dad. Ive been thinking about this real hard. Just tryin to gather more information and then start searching for the parts. Thanks all.
