Need a set of axles for a project... Looking for d30, d35, or d44's with 3.73ish gears. Need both front and rear.
Project is a '53 willy's with chevy drive train... :unsure:
and you sold your old ones.... :chaz: :flipoff2:

Yeah, I know, and they were 3.73's
Fortunately I am not kicking myself too hard, I am helping a buddy!! Don't worry, I already kicked him for not telling me he needed the axles sooner!! But, the nice thing is this is really the only mod to be done. It's already a runner, but the current axles are geared at 6.17...but he wants to be able to drive it on the street, so he wants higher gears, like 3.73 or so.

D25 front, D41 or D44 rear I think.
The D60/70 combo is WAAAYY overkill for the little Willy's, even the D44 is pushing it.

SO you looking for 6 lug or 8 lug?
I have a set of 6 lugs on my chalet, and I was thinking of putting the set of 8 lugs that I have on it, but at this point I will sell whichever set is required.
Both are 3.73
d44/12b in 6 lug
10b/14bsf in 8 lug.

I have a D44/14b SF in the 74 that I would part with. I was told that they are 4.10s, but they might be 3.73s. Was also told there is a gov-lock in the rear, but would have to confirm that too.
