I have one sitting with my spare parts id be willing to ship, looks in great shape.

Interested as well! Wish you weren't 5hrs away though, do you ever come up this way?

Outside to outside is 29 1/4. 27 center to center. Not sure what you're asking for as far as fitting firm as the factory bumper secures using 4 carriage style bolts through square cutout in bumper then through hole in frame.

^^ my setup. Get tapered sleeves for the tie rod ends to fit the knuckles. I also went bought a new adjuster sleeve and clamps but it extends out no problem. Your other options are new setup $$$ or custom shortened full size tie rod

Ive had good luck with turtle wax trim restorer.

Hard to explain, other then it feels like you're driving a truck rather then a sports car. If I didn't need the added strength of the ZF behind a diesel I would've definitely went with a nv3550 or an AX-15 as they pretty much bolt in and don't add much to driveline length. With a ZF5 my front...

With the 3.5" if you didn't order a shim you're gonna need one! I have WH 11 leaf packs and a 6 degree shim. Also I'm one of the ones with the bc crossmember. I had to cut and re-welded the mount to get everything centered, however if you're running a 205 you might want to leave it alone.

Just make sure its right housing. Small block/big block. Only saying cause the only time i ever found a cheap ZF it was cause it was a big block/diesel. Like mentioned if you don't need a HD trans the M5od shifts way nicer. Both require really cutting into the floor and brace though. The m5od...

Weird. My 76 also had drums with t steering setup. I never did look up the BOM to see if it was swapped out completely or just outers. Anyways, Im cheap so I always use 76-79 full size disks as they are abundant and swap the complete knuckle out, you'll just have to pick up sleeves if you want...

Id hold out for an early bronco 44. Or bump up to a 3.5" for a high pinion clearance as the 78-79 bronco axles are more common and fairly easy to shorten. 76-77.5 f250 dana 44s are low pinion drivers drop but then you have shortening axle/shafts, weld on wedges, and swap out the 8 lug. Might...

Maybe this will help, none have the main brake line which is what going for but the red one does show the other brackets going to the brake calipers.

If you go on youtube wild horses has a video showing install of ax-15 and dana 20. Probably help you out quite a bit deciphering the instructions you have.

Thought I had posted this. I have an extra Dana 20; Just trying to clear up some room. Just t case, no shifter linkage Will post pictures when get chance. Looks just like any other Dana 20

Sent you an email.

Looks good! Jealous! Im already dreaming up a R2.8 build
