I'm pretty sure that they would fit, but the only way you can tell exactly is to measure your steering Knuckle from top to the bottom, I beleive that the axles are the same from the 3/4 to the 1/2. But if you plan on doing this swap, don't use the early 76 front end for a donor, the spindle will be to long, and the disc brakes are one piece with the hub, not a very good idea from ford, plus that was the only time ford did this, and it makes it a bitch to find new rotors. hope this helps

yes they do fit i did it to my 77 f-250, but u need to do the brakes as well (bracket and caliper) or it will not work
