Re: 1/2 ton 4x4 vs 2wd rear-end

Big flick...

Use the housing from the 4x4 guts and all in the 2wd. Swap axles, get new drums. If you didn't build the rear in the 4x4, make sure of the spline count before you buy axles if you are getting new ones. 88-91 10 bolt axles went to 30 spline instead of 28 in all the earlier 10 bolts.

When it comes to axle parts, it sure is hard to be Randy's. Local, everything in stock, and good people to deal with.

I still wish I would have bought that forest service truck when you had it for sale...
