I a set of axles from a 79 f250 looking to swap them into my 92 f250. I broke the front axle shaft and cant find parts in Canada. I no it sounds crazzy but noware inventory's parts before 2000 everywhere crushed everything when scrap was up. It just for a work truck i was going to do a lift kit anyway. I don't care about brakes and stuff I'll make it work

I no I'd have to move the spring perches out a few inchs. Main thing im wondering is tie rods. I no theres going to be some cuting and welding thats no problem.

Has anyone done it? What are the main problems ill run into? Will the tierods work from the 92 with the 79 f250 axles? If not can I use the tierods from 79 with the newer steering?

Not easy as the spring perch is cast into the housing. Anything can be done, the steering would be easy if you have a lathe or a good die set to cut the thread you need for the proper length links. Keep the 79 tie rod and bottom 1/2 of the drag link, then the new top 1/2 of the drag link. Cut and thread either one for the mating link and sleeve, cut the one that is right hand thread to make it easier.
