Re: 14 bolt in a 68 longhorn?
Looks like a semi floater you can tell from the end of the axle and the pumpkin and yes they should be wider as mine was right at 3in wide/1.5in on each side although i had a full floater from an... 05 i believe

Re: 14 bolt in a 68 longhorn?
The ff axles make sense and I kind of wish I could find a decent one but I don't plan on wheeling it. It's just needed for towing the quads to the dunes and a little sand or dirt roads. I think the sf will work fine for my applications and budget. Now if only I can locate an 8 lug front axle to get the 4wd coversion started

The axle came with a surprise.

Re: 14 bolt in a 68 longhorn?
Alright so next question. Master cylinder. I imagine with my 68 master cylinder it's going to push too much pressure to the discs and not enough to the front drums.. Probably causing the rear to lock up every time I hit the brake. Since I plan on putting discs up front could I use a 99 master with the 72 disc brakes or do I need to get a newer style caliper as well?
Or is there a company out there that thought of this already? Posted via Mobile Device

Re: 14 bolt in a 68 longhorn?
The gov bomb already went off lol. I could convert it to an open diff or get a truetrac. Anyone have one of those?

Re: 14 bolt in a 68 longhorn?
Trutracs are great. I ran one in the front of a 4x4 with a very healthy bigblock and 40" tires. I did break an axle one time, but the differential was fine, and that is way over what they are recommended to take.
