Course spline birfs mean the long outers with a 6-spline “course” outer at the hub and 27-spline at the axle. Later Cruisers moved to a 30-spline outer at the hub and 27-spline at the axle, but same length. What is referred to as large pattern knuckles were ’79+ 30-spline outer and inner Birfields, which were a shorter length and slightly larger bell which require grinding to fit in older axles.
Long story short, to upgrade w/o throwing away your brake/hi-steer combo you need 27-spline Longfields and 30-spline long body Warn/ASCO hubs. All the RCV/Nitro stuff is the later 30-spline shorter axles -
HTH!

PS - I have a set of these Warns in the garage that used to be my trail spares, I’ll donate for shipping since I’ve gone to 30-spline Nitro axles and short body Aisins

Thank you. That was most comprehensive info I've gotten on the webernets.
Double thanks for the offer!
I am cracking it all open today, so I will see if I need the parts. If everything is ok, i will stick with the coarse until after the Pig Party. I will likely take you up on that offer.

Over hauled the front end. Happy to report there was no damage on the birfs or locking hubs. On of the wheel bearings was bad so it was good cruiser outfitters talked me into getting them. So clean under there now and drives great.

I am going to upgrade my alternator. The fan is drawing a lot of power and may be starving the fuel pump.
An exhaust hanger broke a weld so ill throw a bead on that tomorrow.
I also still need to get my filler neck sorted. I have a plan, just need to ask permission for the funds.

Some solid work and permission is a good thing.

Or is it better to beg for forgiveness?

Last night she was ordering some birthday gifts for our daughter on amazon. She asked me "do you want me to go ahead and buy this alternator in the shopping cart?"
Me: "If you could, please."
Wife: "Ok it'll be hear thursday"
Score!

Now that is smoov...
We sort of have an unspoken deal at our house. I don't gripe about Amazon orders for books or for granddaughter gifts. She just closes her eyes and sighs about orders for Pig, Porsche or motorcycle stuff. So long as we get outdoors to camp and 4-wheel with some frequency, I'm golden (or maybe that's just polished brass.)
I hope you plan to turn down the lights and light some watermelon candles after the kids go to bed, she sounds like a keeper!
Or borrow Pablo's Barry White tape.

The youngin has a sleep over Friday. I think I'll make my move then.

I would be awesome if Barry would do custom dedication songs. This one would be all like
"Baby, I could feel your love when you bought me that 120A, internally regulated alternator.
You're my everything!
Now let's put some wattage in your cottage..."
