This answers my question on whether a 3/4 4wd axle will fit.
Did you happen to measure the distance from the wheel mount surface to wheel mount surface? I have a line on a set of axles from a 3/4 ton 4wd they are 4.10s and cheap. dance
has anyone done a 4wd 1ton? Can I run a pto off the stock trans? headscratch
hmmmm
