Re: full width axle swap

i ve said it before, and will again, i had a HIGH horse motor =TRIPLE T cases, 40s, 42s, and i wheeled the truck like i HATED IT

it had a 44 with chromos and an arb
the 12 bolt was stock with a spool and 5.38s

the 44 pooped out shafts all the time until i went to chromos, then wasnt too bad, the 12 bolt broke once in 6 years, an axle shaft, and i totally deserved it! i GUARANTEE, I would have broke a rockwell in the same spot.

is a 60 better? yep!
is the 44 and 12 bolt cheap, a dime a dozen, easy to work on, and fairly strong, yep!

 GREAT CHOICE IF YOU PLAN WELL
