I was wondering if an easier(?) way to go open drive rear with the stock trans would be to find the front section of a 3/4T driveline and fit it in somehow. The stock 1/2T open driveshaft would have to be shortened, but the 3/4T set-up does go from closed to open (right around the back of the cab). Of course the rear axle will have to be hard-mounted to the springs. And there would be the problem of matching all the u-joints. Other threads say that isn't too difficult.
Current fleet (subject to change w/o notice) \'49 GMC 3/4-Ton , 60 Austin Healey Frog-eye Sprite (some assembly required), 2011 Dodge Avenger, 2015 Jeep Cherokee. No, they don't all run. My other ride is a (B737)no, (B767)no, A320.... Update... was Embraer E190, now Boeing B787. Knowledge is a wonderful thing, but ignorance means you don't know you can't do something.
