Also, the tapered axles were strong enough for the max wedge cars and they'll hold up to just about anything under 500 horses.



Every serious racer carried a spare set of axle keys.



Touché. Always a smart move.

Point is for street duty, typical stoplight to stoplight stuff, the original tapered axles are more than up to the task. A simple (under $100) mod makes them totally serviceable with modern brake drums that slip on just as the '65 and later diffs do. However, if you want to do some serious racing or you're running upwards of 500 ponies on the street, an upgrade would probably be a good idea.
