79 Build-the 69 goes by-by

[bronco69]

I have decided to consolidate my 2 ford 4x4s due to rust, $, space, and common sense. The old 69 has been a great rig to me, but the entire body is junk...really. So I plan on putting the 3/4 ton axles under my short bed 79. It will get lifted 4" and benefit from the heavy duty axles, cool rims, and hummer tires. It will be cool looking, I promise.

I got alot of work done on the 69. In this pic I have removed the engine, hood, door, and all the misc stuff I wanted to keep. As it sits right now I have removed the tranny, transfer, drivelines, front axle, and power steering assy. The only thing left is the rear axle, then the rest gets sent to the scrap yard

Looks like you're gonna have a stout rig. Question, isn't the front on that 69 a LP close knuckled D44 stock with drums? Is it still the stock axle up front? If so, you swapping that in? I wouldn't, the 79 would have a HPD44 with discs up front.

I hate to see a truck meet its end like that, but if it's too far gone, what do you do?

The new(er) truck looks fantatic. I'm very jealous.
