Hes running a c clip rear?

Problem with that is virtually no one does, or atleast used to make semi-float, 8-lug shafts.
So 35-spline, SF C-clip Van unit like I thought. Did he narrow one side or does he run it offset? Can't tell from the pictures but it looks centered.
Big Mark runs the same rear end in his rig. Sure its :rb: C-clip, but the shafts are *almost* unbreakable and dirt cheap (as is the whole rear end). If I had one kicking around I'd be seriously considering it. But I don't, and last time I was at the PnP I didn't see a single one.

Well as long as your experience surpasses my experience of the dreaded harbor freight poop pipe bender :awesomework:
See you at KOH 
Those van c clip rears have un equal length shafts, we cut down the long side to short shaft length, something like 2 1/2", its now a 63" housing. Not bad $75 pull apart housing with shafts, $15 pull apart shaft. $100 63" 35 spline rear 60, not bad

Looking good. Save yourself some headache with the rear shock mounts and don't weld the outer mounts until everything else in the back of the chassis is welded.
I welded everything in the lower half the chassis first than changed the rear diagnol down tubes and it pulled those mounts out almost an 1/8" makes it a real pain for the bolts to slide in. I even had a brace tacked in to stop the chassis from flexing and the mounts bolted together with spacers. It just sprung out of alignment when they got pulled out.
