as long as you do not max out the U joint's capability (most likely 1350's) you will be cool with the offset..
also, ifyou shortened the 14 bolt on one side (same length shafts then) you would have a nice offset.. BUt then your front axle would need to be shortened as well. It depends on what you want and how much you want to spend..

Maybe I just don't know the 14b well enough, but having the same length shafts gives offset? The geometry just doesn't click in my head yet.
I'm following this thread fairly close because I have the same plans for my 80, just might take me a little longer. For the front I'm pretty set on a HP PS offset 60, aka Chevy housing/Ford chunk. Is this a worthwhile choice?
Also, with a centered rear 14b or 10.25..one would need a DC shaft, but is that enough to eliminate vibes?
