its just an abs sensor on each wheel. the vss is in the rear axle.

so theoretically i could do the swap and just leave my abs unplugged and all that would be affected is the abs light in the dash and no front abs, which my last vehicle didnt have anyway

correct, you can leave it unpluged and just loose ABS feature. Im doing this, im currently putting 1 tons under my 99.

Ive come to figure that my ABS never worked properly with oversize tires anyways.

check out my build thread. not much is happening yet but theres some pictures of the tear down and some part placement. click link in sig

thanks trimble, i was following the build of that white ford on pirate, it looks like it turned out nice, but i cant really afford a new t-case and seemed like a lot of work swaping out the rear. since the 9.75specs are pretty similar to a d60 ill prob just beef it up a bit and it will hold fine.
