[QUOTE="Walt Jaquith, post: 429187, member: 18654"] This project has been on hold for a long time, but it has a new urgency. When I swapped in the 4.3, I put the T-case back exactly where the old one was. I've never loved the driveline angle, but it was working before, so I figured I could live with it. Nope. I've picked up the dreaded vibration. So back to the axle... I got the guts buttoned up, and did a wrecking yard run for brake parts. Disk brakes from a 2000 Explorer bolted right on to the early 80's axle housing. I love it when auto makers don't fix stuff that aint broke. Also ordered a JB Conversions ultra-short slip yoke eliminator. The plan is to match the pinion and T-case angles (since I'll be welding on the spring saddles), and then have a CV driveshaft made. I don't want any weak links in the drivetrain. [/QUOTE]
