I'll definitely contact dr diff about this as well if he doesn't chime in here.
Can the 9 1/4 axle ends be used without running the 9 1/4 style c clips?

One thing to be careful about is the width. Truck Danas have a large axle bearing mount on each end and when you cut it off the width may be less than desired. You may need a different offset wheel to make up the difference.
I've never worked on a dana before so bare with me, but are you saying that you can narrow a dana too far and run out of axle tube material that will accept a bearing?
