i have a 92 f150 5.0 4x4. i have the opportunity to get the 9 inch rear and d44 front out of a 78 f150. id like to take them and all the suspension and all the steering components in order to to the axle swap into my 92.

i have to drive an hour and a half to get the stuff off the truck. im willing to drive because im getting a good deal on it all. i would like to know if there are any specialty tools that i will need? i know ill have to take a grinder or cut off wheel for the spring bucket rivets in the frame. does anybody who has done this before know of anything else i will need besides all wrenches, sockets ratchets electric impact, heat, prybars, ect ect


thank you very much for the help. -jason

 

also if anybody knows, is the suspension hardware on a 1978 f150 going to be metric or standard?
