I did the MM kit that replaces the gears last year on my buddy's '77 Pick-Up. We chose that one since it was only $50 at Summit at the time and the shaft kit was a lot more. It took less than two hours including clean-up time. He has been daily driving on it since with no problems. Add an hour for the hubs.

not to hijsck... but...

although the shaft kit is more... is it worth it?
It's primarily a daily driver...

I believe that when I looked into the shaft kit, it is considerably stronger and if there is excessive endplay it was recommended. Now knowing that the np 203 has its own inherent weaknesses, I don't think the cheap kit will be the weakest link in that t-case.
