10's on $5,000 ?

Im putting an explorer 8.8 in my wifes 79 aspen. Narrowing is actually really easy and can be done by your average guy with a welder. Only additional parts needed is another passenger side axle. There are multiple how to videos on youtube.

Also if looking for decently clean and cheap FMJ check in the columbus ohio area. Im just north of cbus and i find tons of them for sale on Facebook market place all the time for under 1k.

Good luck with the build, i love junkyard budget builds!
