I picked this bad boy up over the winter and it is time to do some mods to it.
I am looking for some advice on the axle. I am planing to swap in a complete axle with a LC bolt patern and SOA at the same time. My idea was to use a 3" tube with land cruiser spindles/hubs welded to each end. I was concerned about losing the e-brake, which I think is a good idea...I am toying with the thought of using the shafts from a broken set of birfs and welding them on the inside of the spindle and using a selectable outer hub to lock and unlock the tire...
does this make sense? am I missing something?
any feed back would be great.
