80 rear axle in my 62 (1 Viewer)

[Richfj60]

Hi All,
I am in the process of replacing my 62 rear axle with an '94 80 locker rear axle to match my 80 front end. I am going to use the existing OME leafs, so more of a budget build. I'm in the process of sorting everything out. For those of you that have gone down this path, a couple of questions....
1. Have you found the brackets to utilize the existing rear sway bar? I'd rather not cut the ones off the 62.
2. The brake Master Cylinder and booster- should I just go with the non-abs OEM booster? Does it have an integrated proportioning valve for the rear disks? PO put in a different booster, but I have no idea what its out of. I think I will try it before I buy a new one. Thanks.

Use the booster you currently have and see if it's adequate before replacing. Do replace the MC with non-ABS brake master cylinder (part # Advics AZ BMT-090). 80 rear axle in my 62 - https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/80-rear-axle-in-my-62.1258847/
