71 W-200 and ford axles

Post by mudguy »

HI guys,

I just bought a 1971 W-200 with a 318. My question is if i change the transfercase to a ford 205 so the front driveline is in the right spot will ford 3/4 ton axles fit under my dodge or am i going to have to cut the spring pads off and relocate them. also how much trouble is the steering going to give me. im thinking of going to power steering when i make the change. The reson for the ford axles is i have them already freshly rebuilt and the origonal rearend in the truck now is about shot. so i figured i could swap in the fresh axles with matching gears (4.10's) already installed and be ahead of the game. but im not well versed in dodge and im just trying to see what im getting into lol. so is there anyting im missing has anyone tryed this kind of swap any info would be greatly appriciated.

thanks ahead for any info.
