Thing looks much better than I'd imagined.

You're not passenger drop with the 300? Or plan to flip it?

You don't want to spend time and money building that unit bearing disconnect garbage.

I have a 88 Ford KP 60 with 4.10s. Complete and good shape. Text me and we'll work a deal. You don't want that dodge axle.

for half of $240 it's fine. Lock the CAD solid and put 35sp stuff in it once it breaks or premptively if it's in the budget. Brett posted the factory length 35sp shafts for it - sealing at the CAD is the only "hard" part of that.

if you run ~40s it'll probably need unit bearings and ball joints every other or every 3rd year (maybe less) with offroad only use. I'm assuming it'll be not plated or maybe an ice cream getter, not a daily driver 5,000+ mile/year deal.
