What is the story on the Yukon outer rear axles, what is the bearing setup and spline count on them? I assume you were truing them for runout issues.

Curious why you went with the 65 side fenders over the 64? preference I would guess.
The yukon rear axle have the same setup than original (just heavy duty)
the 65 side fenders was on this car when i buyed it, and i like it

Thanks, so if they're a two-step 17 spline axle, what is HD about them? Not being sarcastic, just interested in them. I use Tom's 31's, single large 1.375 diameter and tight splines- haven't seen any break yet.

Nice project! We are driving to LeMans again next summer for the 24h race. If you happen to live somewhere along our route, I would love to come visit!

Big consideration for the rims but I have a result that I almost like (I am in the process of making spinners)
