Me and a buddy took the day off today to go on (Pick-A-Part) Safari. Hit three yards, I was looking for some rear discs off of a Grand to put onto my 8.25. The first yard was picked clean, even though they supposedly, put the "new" stuff out on Tuesdays, took a drive to the next one (about 35 miles) found the usual crappy D35s under a few Cherokees (no Grands) and a couple of disc brake 8.8s....Hmmm, then....I found the Holy Grail, a complete 3.55 geared D44 with a pretty tight TracLok (big whoop but, it'll do till it gets regeared with a Detroit.....eventually) well, not entirely complete, someone had taken the yoke (damn!) but, I pulled one off of a D44 from a fullsize (SJ) wagoneer (Hah!) Grand total $125! Now, my question: I have a front shaft from an AW4 equipped Cherokee and was going to do a hack and tap for my 8.25 so, is this set up still going to be the right length for my D44?.......Hans
