My Scrambler is on full width 60's. It should look the same, unless your talking Scout or Bronco 44's.

RIP Mike, we'll all miss you
are you keeping it street-legal (if it is now)? Full width axles will make the tires too far out to be covered by a reasonable width fender.

Street Legal is a question of state laws. Texas is the most lax in the country. My Scrambler is street legal as you see it in my gallery.

I hear you. Yeah Texas,Oklahoma,New Mexico,Arkansas & Louisiana all seem to be lax.

I am keeping it street legal, but will push the legal part as far as I can. I know California has a bad rap, and most of it is true, but we seem to be able to get away with somethings in different parts of the state. The axles came off a 69 ford and need some cleanup work, but I am looking seriously as using them.

The axles may be free but may not be any stronger that what you have. The closed-knuckle front is an issue and they had small Dana 30 sized u-joints and a crappy turning radius. The rear , if a Dana 44 , may well be a 19-spline 2-piece axle design similar to the AMC20 . I admit that I am not familiar with Ford's time line on axles.
Many older axles (say from the early '70s back) are not nearly as strong as their newer versions due to u-joint size, spline count, etc. This includes some big-names like the D60 & D70.
The jeep in my avatar has a "full-width" Dodge D60 front that is 67" wms-wms plus 15.5" wide tires.
