69cuda. Yep it is pretty simple. The old cj jeeps and willys wagons and pickups have always had a need for stronger front axles. I keep a pretty large selection of Wagoneer and scout housings to cut down for those. But that requires both sides being cut. Also an old Spokane boy . Who now resides on the west side of Washington regularly builds front axles out of GM 14 bolts.
Also with these pre 55.5 trucks when building it with the narrowed axle. You can easily undo the swap. I have gotten so good at these the last conversion was done in less that 2 days. My 46 took a bit longer. Mostly because I started going crazy with it. Swapping out the original 4 speed for a 420. Added a Watson 3 speed brownie. And a divorced np205. Plus I used a 72 chevy Dana 60 rear. Of course with a Detroit locker. There is not a lot of room near the transmission. And 2 handles and 3 shifters. All the rods. Mounts... Made for quite a puzzle. I did it again on my 65 gmc k1500. And had acres of room to mount the Brownie shifter. T-case. And pto lever.
