Re: straight axle on 76 2wd truck.

I did that years ago and it worked out good . the best that I remember it was the axle hub to hub , springs , spring plates , U bolts , 4X brackets & bushings , 4X cross mount for motor with mounts , changed the steering box and pitman arm to 4X type & added longer brake lines . I'm not sure if the 4X cross member raised the engine , seem's there was something about that whatever it was .
