6inarow and John -
You guys should know that the rear axle on these trucks is just like the rear axle on the cars with torque tubes. The axle is "clamped" between two machined parts so the axle will rotate slightly during driving, When going to an open drive line, these two "clamps" must be removed and and spring perches welded to the axle so the axle pinion angle can be set for use with the open drive shaft. That's what John did on his truck and George wants to do on his truck.
