What did you do to your truck today?

Broke the inners of my front axle not to long ago, going tomorrow to pick up a 79 bronco Dana 44 to do a solid axle swap on my 93 what do y'all think? Worth the 2500? Y'all have any problems with the factory IFS axles bowing the tires bad? Especially when reversing?

Dodge+Ford = always ready
its normal for them to bow when backing up. never had the issue going forward.
and $2500 for just the axle or the whole bronco? if its just the axle that seems minimum double what you should be paying.

I found a 79 bronco axle with out hubs for $300, my local shop would charge me 1700 for instillation and 150 for a good pair of hubs and I would need to have the axle painted to match the under side, now its a weird greenish brown color.

that sounds real expensive. i wouldnt dream of paying that much for a shop to do it. i paid $1700 for my car lol

ah 1700 to install sounds a little high still. that's a little over 21 hours of work at $80 a hour lol. paint should only cost them $50 if they do a nice job.
IMO a good shop should be able to do it in a day.

Yah I know considering I only payed 3k for the whole truck :p but I've got a ten year plan for it. SAS, kind ranch bucket seats, 35x16x15.5's, cummins 5.9l swap with a matching trans., convert to manual and buff paint and body out.
