Truck looks good, stopped by Saturday to check it out. I meant to ask Don, but why did you need to get new axles? What is/was wrong with the ones in the rearend now?

The axles that the builder ordered has 5/8th studs, not the 1/2 we had speced out. so they would not work with my street wheels. I had to order new 40 spline axles from Strange with 1/2inch studs this time

why wouldn't you just have 1/2" studs drilled between the 5/8"s holes? There is no way it would really weaken it, plenty of big hp cars are run axles with a LOT more holes in the end plate, just curious.

the axles were the lightened racing axles that strange makes. the space between the studs was already drilled out to about 1" size holes. Trust be i looked at EVERY possible fix before shelling out more money
