well ive been thinking the past few days..i got a 465/205 hydro setup (have everything expect a clutch) and im thinking of putting that in the burb....just an idea...would be diffrent...i have a 400/208 now and i wonder how much i would have to change lengthen/shorten the driveshafts...

 

[twoslo4five0]

well guys its back on its wheels today...i got a few more things to do to the front (torque everything,get a freant driveshaft,and get exhaust done)and the front will be done...i got to move over to the rear then...

Why are you replacing the 10b front with a 44?

44 has 513 and a truetrac...thats why

Now it all makes sense . I was asking myself why the hell would anyone wanna swap a stock 10b for a stock 44?

its all in your wheeling style....ive never broke a 10 bolt or 44 but i have had buddies who favor one or the other...i perfer a 44 parts around here are more readly available thn 10 bolts...plus im prolly wrong but a 44 might have a little better ground clearance...

Not too sure about the clearance issue. I know around here 10b parts are more available due to all the 44ed trucks have been crushed for 10 years now due to all the rust . The 10b bolt trucks are a little easier to come by. But even the pre 91's (SFA Trucks) are actually starting to get scarce around here. My 84 is in tough shape in alot of places but for around here and 300k it's prestine to be honest.

Winch is spelled wrong in your sig.
