79 ford hi pinion swapped to pass drop....just the housing for now so its all up in the air.. build it as I can afford to

I know all about building on a budget. just find some of the newer axles that don't tapper down in the middle. good luck with ur build!!!!

Yeah thats what I was thinking about the shafts I'm running a dana 60 out of a Chevy. the front shafts have to be replace i think it came off a plow truck or something cause they are very rusted. both short and long Ujoints are even worse. but the housing is pretty decent.

I doubt you will break stock inner shafts with a 4cyl or v6! I never broke one in my cab truck and it had a v8 and a manual trans

Same here but auto trans. I'm still running the stock outers as well.

You can get yukon axles for half prince of RCV's and have a lifetime warrenty. Inners/outters/super joints/ flanges.. Hit Daves off-road supply after u get all ur prices. He will save u money and not try to sell u all the super expensive ****. Although I highly doubt you will break that axle. Barnes 4wd is best priced on fab **** I think. Connecting assure you there is no customer service like Barnes! I had something messed up one time and he sent me the part before I even had it taken off to send back. Brad is jam up to deal with.. That's where I go for all of my brackets, diff covers, 13 bolt shave kit.. Etc. good luck

By far the best deal in 60 shafts are East Coast Gear Supply's lifetime shafts. They warranty them there and have excellent customer service! Plus I think it'd be hard to beat the price.

And looking for other shafts besides RCV's they are a little pricey, i know yukon makes some and so do a few other companies any opinions anyone?

running Reid outers, 10 factory chromos with 300m joints, drive flanges on my D60. been holding up great under a heavy rig with H1s and 42" SXIIs. the 14 bolt just has a spool and 1541h shafts. all being pushed by a decently built LQ4 6.0

I'm not nice to it, but also pick and choose my battles.

now all the drivetrain is going under a new buggy that will be about 1100# lighter than the s10 was. should live a little easier now, but we'll see ;D
