The vacuum hose is there but I got the axle with missing the hubs. I plan on just buying the warn 4x4 hubs for it because I dont wanna install the vacuum pump
hobanm45 I think that tells me what I need to know. I'm putting a 03' superduty D60 under my 93 Yukon and was curious if I just run the vacuum off my engine or will a set of warns or yukon locking hubs would jus do away with the vacuum crap ?
Chris Hurley He’s using 05up axles and they use a different hub than the 04 down Superduty axles. All of the auto Superduty hubs have auto and a lock mode. The auto mode uses the vacuum but you can manually lock them. You can also get the non auto factory hubs too that have a free and lock mode. You can also just stick some warns on it.
that would be great i certainly need help with the rear end i have several questions it would be easier for me if i can send you an email with my phone number if you do not mind . Thank You Frank... my email frankmontalto@hotmail.com
J L after the price of the bronco maybe 10k to 15k. 2k in bumpers, 3k in axles with lockers, 3k in the motor, 1k in tranny, 2k in rims and tires, 2k in the lift ,and god only knows how much in random other things. I have slowly building this for the past 2 years.
The arms are just throwaways, I just needed something to locate the front axle when I was building it. And the upper track bar mount is being remade as well to help clear the front diff
hobanm45 Man this shaping up to be an interesting build. I myself have been thinking of a 3/4 ton axle build onto my 78. I hope to see more of this build soon and or finished either or. Keep it comin!!
Bruce Kilgore The bronco is resting in my garage right now but since this video I have made a new track bar and upper and lower mounts for it. I got my steering worked out and new fuel tank and lines installed fixed a major electrical issue. I will try and film some more of it this week.
It's all good that your building up your '78 or '79 Bronco, but I see the most important issue that you need to address. The ground clearance is still that of an trail driven vehicle or some flat surface for your 4x4. You will get to go to many more places with more ground clearance. I wish you all the luck.
I got about 10in ot clearance from the lowest point. I plan on just light wheeling. I built it more because I have always wanted a big 460bbf bronco on 39s
its a good thing ,but why,std axles are heaps enough,the truck weighs nothing compared to a s duty,d60 front rear would of been my only change,im currently,[not raisen],fitting d60 axles,78,to an 82 bronco,ttb,front is d44 with d60 disc,h/d snow fighter type,rear is 86 d60.i have a2002 s duty,4.2 brazilian turbo deisel,i might eventualy fit early diffs,lighter,strong enough.if your doing extreme rock crawling,id go rockwell,other than that,std good enough.good job well thought out,but,???.
beautiful. doing it the right way I love it. Im trying to get my dad to do something similar to his 90
Looks killer. Considering something like this on my 68
Nice job!!!!
Do you have a part two video
I'm waiting on the clutch right now before I stab the motor in then I will make a pt2
I truly Love those rims, Awesome.
does that superduty axle have the manual vacuum hubs on it ?

I am doing the same swap can you tell what size u bolts you used amazing build the front axle i really do not have the skills to attempt that .
frank monty I'm sorry I dont remember. I just went to a truck shop and had them bent for the rear axle
Thank you for the reply your video on your super duty axles swap really helped me out
frank monty i would be happy to help with anything else if i can.
that would be great i certainly need help with the rear end i have several questions it would be easier for me if i can send you an email with my phone number if you do not mind . Thank You Frank... my email frankmontalto@hotmail.com
how much would this thing cost? this is exactly what I'd want in a truck.

where are you located? im interested in that d44 you have in the garage
Dan Springer Oklahoma, but i gave the d44 and 9in to a friend. To stuff under a land rover discovery
You did a lot of c-channel work but the bottom of the truck is rusted out
The front lower links look like ass lose the coil spring put a coil over shock in more room change the Trac bar
The arms are just throwaways, I just needed something to locate the front axle when I was building it. And the upper track bar mount is being remade as well to help clear the front diff
I really hope you dont drive this on the road ...ok for offroad but hackword for the road
meumacaco yea mainly off road. but outta curiosity what concerns you? I have remade all of the track bar and I'm going to tweak the radius arms.

I would have built it in to a triangulated 4 link moved the lower mounts on the axle up for clearance.
Dan Allen i didnt know how to do that at the time I made this. But yes a 4link would have been better
This thing is a mess...
need a longer yoke too.

I see, I myself go through the woods and tree stumps is I was thinking, or big rocks. Thats why I made that comment. Still good luck.
Looks like shit. All these modifications just kills the true bronco. What’s the point. Mightiest will get the new 2020 bronco.
How dare I have an opinion that differs from yours.
You're an idiot.
