Hi K68,

To use the 77 axle, and have big hubs, you will need to find a 1971 to 1976 bug hub axle to pull the bearing hubs and possibly the spindles off of. Then you could convert the 77 axle to big hubs. it may be more trouble then its worth, but that is up to you... The 77 axle shafts will be the same.
I believe you could use your Power-loc, but I would check with a gear guy to make sure. You would want a gear guy to do the swap, ge will need to set up the gears. this will cost a few bucks too.
