Is this true and why was #2 built that way? I was more familiar with the offset axle one and thought that was the only way they were built.

I don't have the measurements, but I'm pretty sure the 35 spline axles are bigger in diameter and stronger. Last edited by Locomotion; 03/29/13 11:54 PM.

Your absolutely correct on that about bigger being better and stronger Same thing on the transition in 1970 Mr.Cab Racing and winning with Mopars since 1964. (Old F--t, Huh)
