Thank Mike, What I meant was saw the bolt flange off the FF axle shaft. Bore the flange out to the axle diameter. Slide the bored flange on to where it needed to be, cut off the excess shaft, and weld the bolt flange back onto the shaft. Essentially shortening it on the outboard side so that resplining isn't required.
Lots of good advice here. I'll have to join pirate and do some reading. I really don't need to go all the way down to 60" if it's not feasible. 63 or even 65 might be ok. I plan to run skinny tires and stock looking rims so that will help in keeping the tires inside the fenders Thanks very much to all who've replied. Rick
