Front end swap

[ianmoore10]

I have a 72 f100 2wd im going to be putting on a 75 highboy frame. It has the low pinion dana 44, closed knuckle, power ram assist steering, and drum brakes(4.10 gears) and am going to be picking up a 1978 high pinion dana 44, open knuckle, real power steering, disk brakes(3.54 gears). I need to know if the 4.10 gears from the low pinion and other associated internals will swap over to the high pinion? I know I need the proportioning valve and master cylinder for the brakes and the steering gear box, drag link and such for the steering.
Am i missing anything to do this swap?

thanks

You can not swap low and high pinion gears.
I think the carrier can be used in the high pinion with new ring and pinion gears.
Dana uses different carriers for different gear sets.
It might be better to swap your rear gear to a 3.54 to match the front, depending what size tires you are using.
