8x170 Bolt Pattern in a 2wd OBS
OLDBULL8, I really appreciate the offer, but I'm north of Detroit, and I'm barely finding time to get outside and wrench on my truck. If I had more free time, I'd be more than happy to make a roadtrip to pick those up. And 83ford, I've considered this as well, but I'll be hauling a pretty...- Atlenane

8x170 Bolt Pattern in a 2wd OBS

As far as I can tell the E-series axles are narrower, and the spring perches are narrower and would need to be moved. The S/D axle will bolt right into an OBS, and it maintains the existing track width.- Atlenane

8x170 Bolt Pattern in a 2wd OBS
Hi guys, I'm new to the site, this is my first post. I have a 1990 F350 2wd, with a N/A 7.3 and a ZF5, and it has recently given me a few axle issues. I've sorted it out for now, but eventually it will need a full rebuild. I'd like to swap in a S/D 10.5 to gain rear discs while keeping the...- Atlenane
