I agree old man, I got a deal on these axles, couldn't pass it up. They are already locked, geared and everything has been gone through and rebuilt. They have only been run for a little while (gotta love the pirate guys that can't live without their 60's). Plus I want to do something different, I have a good start, an MJ, just working on getting my other parts togetherold_man said:It might be easier and cheaper to get a late 70's Bronco or F150 full width high pinion. They have a drivers side drop and would make life a lot more straight forward. A few bucks difference in the axle sure gets rid of a lot of fabing. But then again, some of us just have this thing about doing something different than everybody else. :laugh3: The key is wheel it when you get done.
"easier", sorry, I don't think so. Plus it would cost a bundle more, I am trying to keep cost down. Any idea on how much it would cost? I can get a rebuilt dana 300 with a twinstick for $500, if you think it can be done for less than that, My ears are open,burntkat said:make life easier on yourself- retube the front axle.

You can buy twin sticks on eBay for less than $100.00. The bolt pattern is the same as 231 and mates up to a 23 spline shaft, and it's WAY beefier than a 231.
I will be flipping mine :laugh3:
