SO does it just require a 35 spline carrier/locker to run 35s instead of 30s? or is boring of the spindles neccesary?

 

in the front you can run 35 innards and 30 outer

and yes 35 spline carrier/locker

in the rear, if it is a Full float just swap the shafts and carrier/locker. then make sure you have the proper bearings (always good to do a re build anyhow)

 

well thats the thing. Im rebuilding a full floater rear and justt cant quite seem to find many resources telling me the parts i need to make this work. So what bearings am i looking for exactly?

 

Cant remember even if the axle bearings are different, when I rebuilt my FF out of a 79 ford f250 (SRW) i just asked for 35 spline bearings and the guy got them.

they are simple to work on.

 

yea, as far as the simplicity, that much i have found out (with the exception of removing OLD, groove out drum brakes). guess ill just give my parts guy a ring and see if he gots em. Thanx for the info!

 

my friend has a 75 f250 uses these guys for all the hard to find parts for his 60rearhttp://www.lmctruck.com/icatalog/fc/...hItem=bearings

well, now im back to square one! so im pricing 35 spline shafts, and i run into this little capitalized note at the bottom of the item description...? now what?

 

chances are your going to need to bore out your spindles so the larger shafts will fit

 

here's a great thread on boring spindles http://www.naxja.org/forum/showthrea...ghlight=Boring

 

35 spline shafts only came standard in the snow plow option or d70's.

Randy's Ring and Pinion used to sell a boring tool. If you look on pirate and search you should be able to find all the info you need.


As for your brakes, I would seriously consider doing disc brakes especially if you have to redo you drum brakes. I just did a disc brake conversion on my 9" and for under 100 bucks I was done.
