Re[2]: Tom's Axles Q's...

        Tom,
     
        From '67 to '72 GM used the 12 bolts and 14 bolt corporate axles.  
     When I was restoring the '72 3 door that I had, I was told only corp 
     stuff, and Dana fronts.  No dana rears.  The Dodge trucks from the 
     same era had a 35 spline D60 8 lug rear.  Maybe that's it?  That's 
     what I was trying to get out of the junk yard.  Someone took one axle 
     shaft out before I got there, so I passed.  I got the leaf springs 
     though.  They're slated to go into my T'all front over the break.
     
        I believe that the T'all axles are slightly narrower that full size 
     big3 truck axles.  The trucks from the big3 are, GET READY, 9" WIDER 
     than a ScoutII axle.  This was one of IHs marketing points.  They said 
     you can get a Scout where a truck won't go because it's so narrow,  
     same running gear just narrower.  Hey get ready for more than half the 
     tire to be outside of the fender with big3 stuff under there!
