Does anyone know if there are any diffs that the axle shafts fit into? Ford 9", Cruiser 9,5", Dana 60 diff or something. I have seen alot of guys running chromoly, marfields and Longfields, cromoly and Long shafts making the 8" diff the weak point.
If there was a way to fit a bigger diff by simply clearancing the "cover" on the housing and drilling and tapping new stud holes and then stuffing the diff in there I think alot of people would do it. Not many people have access to a huge ass lathe or can justify the cost and hassle of an axle jig for one axle build. If one might be able to piece this together with OEM stuff found in wrecking yards, backyards and barns then many would try and we would soon find the best combination.
So does anyone have a big diff laying around and a spare axleshaft? That might be the first step, if something fits then we might be able to forego the custom shafts for something OEM Toy, Ford
, GM, Nissan or other.
