A: Now there's an idea! Only prob is the 2WD axle is setup with about the equivalent of FWD (mid drive) It's 2" narrower than a FSJ axle WMS to WMS (wheel mounting surafce) I know this because I've been looking into a FSJ axle swap into the Comanche I have. (Both ends. I like the Model 20 in these too. Almost bullet proof. I've blown up 4 D44s and a D60 but no FSJ M20s yet) From: farna@xxxxxxx Subject: Re: 727 to 518 swap... To: mail@xxxxxxxxxxxx Message-ID: <ADVANCES62Els7B2Ilx00004268@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Check out a 2WD XJ front axle. It might need lengthening and the arm mounts cut off, but otherwise should bolt right in. The Pacer front end isn't a good idea unless you want the thing in the weeds. I've seen tow installations on 50s trucks up close -- like in the shop being done. One guy used rubber bushings between the frame and suspension, one welded directly to the frame. Both were LOW! You might be better off with a late model Diplomat/New Yorker (rear drive) torsion bar front end, or Chevy truck front suspension. I doubt you want it in the weeds if you plan on much towing -- unless you air bag the rear. Another problem with the Pacer is front end parts are getting harder to find -- especially unique items like the engine mounts. All in all sounds like you have quite a rig! I'd like to see some pics and get a quick story on it for AIM. E-mail me if interested.
