Thats some nice machine work and fabbing you did there! I think the 37 spline is a good upgrade for the D80's. That, along with the bigger bearings and 4.10's should make for a great rearend for a tow rig. Now the next question is, when are you doing the 4.10's in the front? Or did you do that at the same time, but didn't mention it since it didn't require any fancy fab work? LOL
X2 on the "I need to buy some more tools", having access to the lathe, bridgeport, welders, etc. is nice but only part of the game. You have some excellent fab and machining skills man, takes brains as well for that stuff to come out right and last, keep us posted!!
very nice work!

I think I know whats going on.... I bet it gets some Dana 60 steering knuckles on a 14 bolt? Though, I ask why? I guess with all your machine tools you can make it stronger than a 60 for cheaper than building the 60... but I'm sure the 60 would be more than strong enough for anything you would throw at it. Unless your just going for the coolness factor
I'd take the 14 bolt and put some 4340 axles in it with a limitedslip with D60 outers with lock out hubs. I would switch out factory coil for some air shocks or some King coil overs with new four link set up with at least 3/4'' joints thats rebuild able. I'd also but hdryo assit steering on it. PSC has some good steering parts its what on my jeep.
id throw some d60 deadenbear ends on it with ctm axles and ujoints and an arb
this is a sick build!!! Awesome work!.. I like how you made your own remote oil filter setup..i have been messing wiuth that for my excursion swap and i wa slooking at teh back of the housing debating were to drill and weld it up for the port... a lot cheaper then cummins or destroked... did you take any pictures of the back side?..if you did that would help me out ...
Thanks,
