Maybe a dragster? /forums/images/graemlins/dunno.gif
Something with alot of HP would be my guess /forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif

It looks like the "axle" from a tractor-pull rig. The ones that use 4 or 5 engines. The have huge 20" brakes and basically no width at all because they are attached to rail cars. Plenty beefy though /forums/images/graemlins/peace.gif

 

[84_Chevy_K10]

Probably go great on a drag car, as narrow as it is.

 

[hi pinion]

Yeah it lists for like 8 grand and some change, pretty stout though /forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif

 

[Storm Trooper]

So is this a quiz and did we all get it right? /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

 

[hi pinion]

Im no axle buff pro by any means, but i found it here in ck5 on the home page, under one of the listings.Its not a pop quiz or anything, i would have made a multiple choice quiz if i was going that route /forums/images/graemlins/rotfl.gif Just something to feast your eyes on /forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif

[hi pinion]

I hate that stupid thing /forums/images/graemlins/histerical.gif the whole truck has to revolve around the damn thing /forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif

 

[BAJA_BLAZER]

That's all Mark Williams stuff, primarily Drag related, but he builds parts for just about everything, very high end. I just ordered some pro race 4.88’s for the Class 8 truck and we run his spools in most everything. By the way a Chrisman rear axle for a Trophy Truck, hub to hub with brakes, will set you back almost $12,000.00. I was at Currie the other day and saw a Dana 60 High Pinion Aluminum Rock Jock front axle with all the trimmings waiting to be picked up at Will Call that was just under $12,000.00 also.

 

[hi pinion]

Is that a good deal???? /forums/images/graemlins/histerical.gif The thing is sweet thats for sure, but with 2 axles itd be 24 thousand,im cool. /forums/images/graemlins/histerical.gif To rich for my blood.If nobody wants my hi pinion ill just run the damn thing.Not to mention take out a second or third loan to complete my project. /forums/images/graemlins/histerical.gif /forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif

 

[jwduke]

I'm really glad regular stuff we use, isn't this expensive!

 

[k5james]

Those damn Chrisman axles that I drool over are up there around 8-12K also. Why does all the cool stuff have to be so damn $$$.

 

[k5james]

Oops, didn't see they were already mentioned.

 

[muddysub]

definetly a dragster application...

 

[84gmcjimmy]

woah! thats quite the axle /forums/images/graemlins/yikes.gif
