You most likely have a very good sure grip unit (as in Powr Lok) and he can supply you with 35 spline side gears and axles for it. You do not want to stick with 16 spline axles but it can easily be upgraded. Sheldon

Is this a full floating rear end? You will need new axle ends to work with a semi floating car axles. Also, those axle tubes are probably brutally thick. Might not be a bad idea to drill out the plug welds and press the old tubes out and replace them with thinner wall tubes. It's not really necessary, just a your preference if you want a lighter axle assembly. Last edited by torkrules; 07/14/10 06:57 PM.
