Got my FDS75 today. Already narrowed and ready to go. Just need to assemble it and paint. Other pic is its axle compared to a d60 35 spline

That's awesome! You ran across one already narrowed? Center diff, equal length inner short shafts?

Yea, they cut the long side down to match the short side. So all I need is one length axle. Its 77" hub to hub
 
Gotcha. I've been told that the stock inners are fine but the outer will be an issue. Just throwing it out there.

Thanks for the heads up. I cant imagine breaking a 1 3/4 axle though. I will do some searching and see what I find
 
That's what some of the other Pro Mod/National guys have told me. He is a pic of the ones that are going in mine

I looked at the billet outers. Really aren't that bad price wise. I may just run these till it breaks and then upgrade them
 
That's not a bad idea. As soon as my semi-floating setup for the sqhd gets here I will post some pics of that too.

I have heard that to about many FDS fronts and the reason I built my own front end... 2" from the locker right out to the driver plates!

Has Tod given you an aprox weight of the entire rear assembly? Was always curious how close I got mine to what he builds

No he hasn't. But when I'm done building mine I will post a weight of it with pics. Trying to get some good solid weights documented on this build thread.

Mine without oil but fully loaded with 2" shafts and billet mini spool is just over 425lbs. It may be a bit heavier now since I welded the brackets on as I chose to make it a bolt in instead of welding! Mine is a hybrid semi/full floater though and will be waiting to try it out before I recommend anyone go that direction with their rear end!

Who's axles did you use? Did you build it with Military outters or was this your Dana 80 hybrid?

All new front end. 47 spline Ouverson Violator shafts. Its a sheet metal f106/custom Dana Industrial front end with rockwell joints (larger than a 1550)

I looked at ouverson stuff. But I like the idea of having the yoke and the shaft be two separate pieces and use a spline. plus if you break a piece you only replace the broken part and not the whole shaft. also, I would rather have a bolt on wing flange style joint.

See and I choose my setup for the exact opposite reason. I personally like a 100% solid 4340 forged yoke/shaft. Same reason for billet 300m joints...basically in all situations I have seen yokes or joints break they usually wipe out everything.

I talked with another PPL pro-mod puller that has been running the same setup (splined style) for about 13 years with zero failures. That was also a deciding factory in my choice. Until that point, I was also looking at the Ouverson stuff. Just didn't know anybody running it at that time.

Basically no pullers have because their stuff doesn't have the normal 32 spline scs stuff! Randy was more than willing to do anything I wanted and 100% custom
