I'd like to but the bendix setup on the front so they match and would like to keep the truck 6 lug.
Is there a range of vehicles I could use as donors for the bendix setup or do i have to stick with '52 and newer AD only?
Anyone have a complete front setup they don't need? | | | | | Joined: Mar 2010 Posts: 10,310 Renaissance Man | | Renaissance Man Joined: Mar 2010 Posts: 10,310 | Contact me after the episode of TV show "The Hoarders" which features me airs.

Seriously, you shouldn't have too much trouble finding what you need, as lots of guys are pulling them out to upgrade to IFS.

Any idea what I can expect to pay for a bendix setup?
...and yes, I've read you have to drill out the lower holes from 7/16 to 1/2 inch.
