Well I did that thing again where I smile and wink then sing a sad song and someone gives me somthing free.
This time it got me a low pinion dana 44 front axle and a 9" rear end out of a 1974 brinco with a straight 6 300, 3 on the tree, and a dana 20.
I gave the t-case to my buddy for his bronco, I have the transmission but it's junk, and the motor was all there but I was told the block is cracked so I left it.
Anyways, the moral of the story is, I was wondering if these axles are any good. I have no use for them now but I'd like to know what I have. Obviously the drum brakes and the low pinion sucks but oh well.
That dana 44 low pinion brings the suck but at the least i've got a set of 44 shafts. Oh and I don't know whats going on with those hubs but they're the factory non-selectable and they like to just pop off the end piece and they seem sketchy.
Anyone know what gear ration these would be? I'm too lazy to go out in the snow and check.
Oh, and I've had enough fun driving my 89 XJ on the road. It's getting trailered now, even if it is grossly unneccessary. I'll hack the fenders and strap all kinds of lights to it to make it unable to pass inspection and justify it.
