1993 Splash build

[brinker88]

Ended up scoring these for $60.00. Still need to take the passenger side to the machine shop.

Well I scored a complete Chevy Dana 44 off craigslist today. BOTH knuckles are drilled/tapped and come with new High Steer arms. Got it for $150. There's easily $200 worth of parts on this axle. Comes with a L/S and 4.10's.

Here's some pics of the axle I'm picking up tomorrow for $150

Looks like u got a pretty good deal!! Cant wait to see your rig with a solid axle uder it!

 

[brinker88]

Dude, I can't either! I'm going to keep it the same height. I'm at about 5.5 or 6 inches of lift. It will be all suspension lift though when I SAS it. I freakin hate my body lift.

I just finished going through your whole build thread. WOW quite impressive.
I see you're almost ready to SAS, not to be a vulture but I'd love to get that steering setup off ya if your're willing to send it north of the boarder (BC)?

What gears are you running right now?

 

[brinker88]

Motopete, I believe there's already someone in line for them. Thanks for the compliments too bro! Oh, and I'm running 4.56s at the moment.

So I went and picked up the chevy axle today. It was in excellent shape! Both knuckles are flat top and drilled/tapped WITH Sky-manufacturing High steer arms. Both caliper brackets are in good shape, as well as the spindles and stub shafts. For $150, it was a steal and only 1/2 hour away from the house. Well worth the drive. I'm not sure what knuckle I have on the driver side though. It should have 36520 stamped into it and drilled/tapped from the factory. It doesnt but is drilled/tapped...I'll have to do some more research.

 

[adsm08]

Hmm, too steep.

 

[brinker88]

Why, what's up?

 

[adsm08]

If you are going SA and had 3.73 or 4.10 I would have been a bit more interested in the TTB axle.

 

[brinker88]

Well I have a bare pig/carrier as well. Setting up used gears is a bitch though.

 

[adsm08]

I have a whole beam that I can re-gear. I'll probably just stick with the 28 for now. It's just the BII.

 

[dhkonrad]

Are you planning on parting out your old TTB parts such as gears?

 

[brinker88]

Yes, but this won't happen til sometime next year
