Get some Robbie Gordon's or Walker Evans......they will get them to you in time.
Tell you what, if you do the mount/dismount when you get down here, I will get the RObbie Gordon's and you can have my TRs.
One other thing, you won't need more than a 1310 in the front. I have been running one since I got my rig 1 ton 5 years ago and have never broken one.

Have Allieds coming....I hope....should be shipping today. Perfect timing, install rims/tires, take in for the exhaust work, load on trailer, off to TX....
per my source:
Gordans - 2 months out
Walkers - b/o to March 1
Allieds will work for now...may even keep them, or keep the Allieds on the IROK's and run the TrailReady's on the PitBulls when they arrive.

front shaft has a working length of about 36", and with the higher-angle minitruck joints I don't see any problems there...long spline too, to address any problems with the shackle reversal "walking" away....
rear shaft is a PERFECT match for a CV minitruck front shaft, swap slips with a Cruiser and bolt it in....just need to adjust links and tip the pinion up.
I had some tiny concerns about the front yoke contacting the tranny/pan....but if it vibrates/moves that much at the front output or between the yoke and the pillow block, I've got other major issues
(worst part of this whole damn project will be mounting that pillow block....not looking forward to the welding process.....)

saw that...Lame has his on the frame rail...
I'll wager there isn't room for the block ears tho between the tranny and the frame rail....and either way, since I don't have a skidplate yet, my options may not matter...lol

I used a chunk of 1"x.75x5" and drilled and tapped it for the pillow bearing. I put the shaft in, found out where it would fit, then made some templates to weld the plate in place. Plasma cut some plates, booger welded the crap in, and I have been good to go

soap is for sissies....
two pics of the pillow block under construction.... .250 wall DOM tapped for 5/8" fine. 1/4" plate to attach onto the frame. Nicely beveled for good weld penetration....

How much will your trans move under full torque? less than your pillow block bushing I hope.

Go get a bucket of mud and throw it on your tires. They look funny
Man, you are going to LOVE those tires and that automatic. I cannot wait to see you getting it
