Building a Front 44

    I've searched.... ;)

    Not finding what I need. I have a front Ford LP 8 lug 44, a Waggy 44 6 lug, and a EB 44 front with 5 on 5.5
    The only housing I know of that will work is the Waggy, Pass side drop. Got the 8 lug for the gears and lunchbox locker (5.38's) but I'd really like to run 6 lug and find some 6 lug Mag wheels from a FSJ.

    That brings up the rear end.... It's 5 lug and no possible way of adapting it AFAIK. I drafted it up and 2 or 3 lugs would over lap.

    I want to go FF on the rear and keep the offset ness, and have the ability to unlock the hubs. Could I possibly find another Waggy front end and put the brakes, spindles etc on the rear to run 6 lug? or am I just gonna have to find a different route?
    TIA.

    Why not stick with 5 lug? can't you find 5 lug hubs for the waggy front end?

    Want mag wheels..... And I have 15x4.5 KH's so they won't fit over the waggy stuff. Plus waggy is discs and I could potentially run discs in the rear.

    EB drums will fit in the stock 15" KH wheels! Schwing!
    Now to combine some parts and pieces and make it all work.

    Depending what wag axle you have the Ford 5 lug hub will bolt up to the wag spindle with no modifications.
