Ghetto its from a 77 3/4 ton. I wanted to use the 8 lug setup because the po put a eaton ho52 rear axle in it, and I got some sweet American Racing rims for free from my brother. I was thinking about using the stock front end on it, but could not find a bearing conversion for 8 lug hubs, and wanted something to handle better on road trips.

AV8er, thanks for the info and pictures. I am just using washers and stock bolts that I pulled of the 77 for now. Eventually I will put some steel plates it and all grade 8 hardware. Next I will have to figure out where to mount the steering parts and hopefully start on the cab next month.
Any and all info in appreciated!
