looking for one of these to bolt in if anybody has one close too me, time clock is ticking on the stock one.also do they make a heavy duty rear u-joint for the stock rear end or any suggestions.[/b]

Sorry I dont have one, but Im wondering what motor u have, I also have a stock rear end in mine with a V-8. I was looking at some of the luv owners rides and saw one guy running Like 11s in the 1/4 mile with a stock luv diff. u can also run an s-10 rear end imo they are stronger than a stock luv diff, depends on what engine and how much power.

A Stock LUV or S10 rear is living on borrowed time with a V8 & slicks, I've broken LOTS of them in the past...

rear ends not the problem RIGHT NOW, i can't seem to keep u-joints from exploding to pieces ,the first one i had held pretty good but i threw the remains away before i checked to see what brand it was but i'm thinking it was a spicer anyone have any ideas on u-joints?
grudd i'm running a sbc 406/th350/3200 stall/10 inch slicks and running 7.17 in the 1/8th which is around 11.20 in the 1/4

1 You are in need of a stronger rear end 2 have you checked your u-joint angle as it sounds like you could be rapping up the springs and putting your u-joints in a bind.

I'm with tj on the pinion angle or something along that line. I can't recall popping ujoints, just axles, ring and pinion, spiders...

that's my thinking also, may need to look at the trans height,pinion angle, etc i got to double check everything.

7.17 in the 1/8 1.60's sixty foot 10in slicks.......just a thought but when you find u-joints that will hold you WILL have bigger problems then. Find a 9'' or even an s-10 rear end to solve your problems.

looking for a 9 or 12 bolt right now, but i don't think a s-10 rear end will hold any better.

what do y'all think about an early 70's model ford 8 inch,full spool with 28 spline axles?

Ditto ......but it's quicker to change the blowed up gears though. If you are planning on racing allot then you need a 9" then you will have the gears and parts for every need. Allot of 60-70s pickups and full size Fords will have the rear you need. I have two of the wide web housings that people prefer and they came out of early 70s t-birds ....oh and i would sell them but the shipping would probably cost more than the part .

thanks guy's, TJ your probably right about the shipping on parts that size and weight.we have a swap meet coming up on the 20th so i will save my nickels and dimes till then.

i vote 9". they are easy to change gears in and they'll take a buttload of abuse. did i mention they are easy to fix?
