I am a newbie! I have been searching this for a while still unsure of rear axle set up for 2.6 truck. What is the best housing to start with? aam 11.5 seem to be axle of choice, but most guys are running a gm or dodge truck. I have a 80 drw housing my intention was 37 spline spool and 300m axles. I haven't purchased anything for the rear yet. But now I'm ready to start building a chassis. I see a lot of people switching to c&c axle is there an advantage to the narrower track width? So should I build the 80 or dump it and get aam? if so what is the best axle to get drw or srw? certain years better? is there much strength difference in 80 vs aam? Or should I suck it up and spend 10k on fully built 11.5?
