Thanks Much! For now the plan is giving it 6 weeks to see how far I can get. So many other projects should be before it. Hoping to at least get the rolling chassis done for now. Kinda HOT out for any paint work. Monsoon season here now.
Welded up the 5 holes on the Dana 44 hub then re-drilled to the Late model F150 6 bolt. The Dana 44 hub was within .010 of the 150. THen made brackets to adapt the F-150 brakes. I posted a short on how true the brake/wheel adaption is a few days ago. I simply used the F150 rotor for proper drilling of the Dana 44 hubs. I will be giving more details as progress is made. Right now it's fitting it all together making it work prior to teardown for body/paint and final finish. I want to use a lot of the electronics to make it a really nice driver that has great power and MPG. It will have locking diffs front and rear.
This is going to be one of your best projects. Can't wait to see it on the road. Good luck with it and try to stay cool out there, if it is possible?

Awesome project. How did you go about adapting the wheels and brakes?
