I've been doing some reading about how guys have a rough time keeping D80's, AAM's and the like alive behind 2wd pullers due to all the stress being on the rear axle by itself..... Doing some research, guys seem to think the HO110 axle would be a bulletproof option due to the heavy construction..... I'm now kicking myself HARD in the A$$ because I scrapped one of these 2 weeks ago, thinking it was old and worthless! :doh:
Do you guys think it'd be worth trying to get it back from the scrapper? I'm sure it's Looooonnnnnnnggggg gone by now, but I'll check anyway.
That being said, my chassis is a 1950 Chevy 2 ton. The 1.5 tons had the HO110, and the 2 speeds got a rear end that looks similar, but has better brakes and a dual reduction two speed in it. Here's a break down of what it looks like internally: 1948-51 Chevy Truck Shop Manual It doesn't have the 3rd pinion bearing or thrust button, but with the large second reduction stage, I'd think it'd be pretty dang tough.... It's a 6.13/8.10 ratio axle.
Just thinkin aloud here.
