What rear are you using? How has it held up?
I have both an AMC Model 20 (2.72) w/ M/E one piece axles installed and a replacement rear 1980 Scout II Dana 44 (Trak Loc 3.73)I originally planned to use for the better gearing (after I replaced the clutches). The 401 with the Edelbrock package and a 727 trani gets installed the weekend of Oct 28. Will the Dana 44 hold up to the 401 using 33" tires (and maybe a locker) or should I just save up for a Dana 60 rather than break parts.
Intended use for the truck is 50/50 off-raod/on road: logging trails (PA), some rock crawling (PA), NJ mud, trips to snowy areas (Poconos/East Durham NY - Irish Catskills)and VA beach use.
Thanks for your suggestions in advance.
