Full Floater for a 62

[BMT]

A buddy of mine with a 62 is looking at buying a full floater axle from Specter. It comes without the 3rd member. Does the semi-floater bolt in?

 

[beanz2]

Yes, the third bolts in.

i don't think it does, it's a C clip axle... the full floater isn't. i know ARB's are different for the 3rd from a semi floater and that of a full floater,

but a FRONT diff carrier will bolt in no probs

AFAIK, the 3rd is the same, but the inner axles are different. FF inners are longer/wider to accommodate the hubs.

Yes. The third bolts in. Their exactly the same, but to get one in a semi-floater, you have to take the center out so you can get in there to put the c-clips on the ends of the shafts. On the full-float, you don't have to take the center apart cause there is no c-clips cause the shafts are held in by the hub. Now if you are talking about diffs set up with ARB locks, again, a semi-float ARB will bolt in a full-float assembly, but the full-float ARB one won't bolt in a semi-float assembly. There are two ARBs for LCs, a semi-float one (usually for the rear here in the States) and a full-float one (usually for the front here in the States.)

BTW, BMT, where you at? I know of a FF rear that could be bought that's in Utah...might save you from $pectre's rediculous shipping charges (unless you are able to just pick it up from them...) got a rebuild kit for it too... And no, it's not the one that's under my rig... 8)

Ferg, I'm in Phoenix. I am asking for a computer-less friend who has a 62. Let me know the price.

Send me a PM and I'll check on the price my buddy wants for it. He's usually on here, dunno why he hasn't posted up about it... I think shipping won't be too bad either. I know a guy who just shipped one out from SLC to Denver for a decent rate...like $60 or $60or so or something IIRC... Anyway, it was WAAAAY cheaper than the $300 the vendor wanted for shipping from L.A. to SLC...but not sure how much they would charge to ship from L.A. to Phoenix though...

Anyway, PM me.

Yes the third member is the same, the axles are different. Check here for a FULL AXLE!
