2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission Axle swap!!!

[Jong]

Question for anyone out there who may have done this already- I have access to a 1978 Ford Dana 60 high pinion front axle for free. I'm interested in swapping it in place of my 60 to get the kingpins, locking hubs, and real wheel bearings that are easy to service. The main thing I'm worried about is my four wheel ABS and how the braking system will like it? Any ideas?

I'm considering this as well. I have to put about a grand worth of parts into my front end as it is. I would rather put it into a good axle. The hard part is going to be swapping all the bracketry onto the new axle. But I figure some good measurements, and some good welding, ( I have to work on that one), It shouldn't be to bad.
