Okay ya'll havent heard much out of myself in quite a while. But thats going to change :p :D :flipoff2:

My question is in my budgeting plans for the scout... Here is my question... I have all the drivelines out of a donor 3/4 ton chevy and the axle (well the whole damn thing to be exact) BUT I am not sure how to redo the drivelines when I go on the new axles and having new lines made. Should I use the scout lines and use adapter joints to go bigger (scout to 3/4 ton) or use the 3/4 ton lines and use adapter joints on the t-case ends??? BTW later on I plan on putting the 3/4 ton powerplant and tranny/t-case in too so I dont want to shoot myself in the foot w/ that mess.... Suggestions please :emb:

Definitely use the 3/4ton driveshafts, UNLESS you plan on getting some custom aftermarket ones when the other 3/4ton shiat (engine trann/x-fer) get put in. Otherwise you'll have heavy duty shiat and PUNY (sp) shafts and u-joints that will bust.
