Re: 1972 3/4 4x4 rear end questions

What size tire do you plan to run? What about transmission? While the HO52 is a neat axle, the 14 bolt will be cheaper to swap in as well as getting a locker for if that's what you want.

Why not swap in the front axle from whatever your donor was? That way ratios are the same and no money spent. Especially $700! 10 bolt is as strong as the Dana 44 for the most part.
