I looked up the old posts for the Dual t/c discussions and just wondered if anyone had completed the custom work?

I have a divorced 205 that I am looking to divorce behind my 345+/727/D20/4:10's/35's soon to be 38's.

I have talked to Dooley in the past about his setup and IIRC he used a carrier bearing to run the front driveshaft forward and down to the front axle...in a SII will the 205 put the front driveshaft in such a place that the front shaft can be ran straight from the 205 to the front axle without interferance??? :rolleyes:
Would it bang the crossmember do you think??

Anybody have Steve in Moab's email?? (I'd rather clock it instead of cutting up the old one. Looking to make this a weekend project.)

Should I run a short driveshaft btw them? (Does the single U-joint work down the highway??)

Can you bolt a dodge 203 to a divorced dodge 205 with the standard adapter?? (I have a 203 laying around too....)

Will the cold duck setup work on Scout D20's?? (That was suggested in a old post... :confused: )

Here's to you.... :flipoff2: I know...I know DAN.... :)

Thanks....

Dooleys cut and plated the dana 20 front output so its now just a reduction box. His front d-shaft runs from the 205 through a carrier bearing above the d20 tcase cross member then drops down to the front axle. He used to run a single ujoint between the 20/205 then went to a very short slip shaft with 1310's. Hope this helps.

Tony,
Any problems with the D20 holding up?

Check with offroad design, I would go with the 203 205, much stronger than that dana 20

Hammerlock the 20 is fine and behind a wide ratio and 392. He is full width on a gm 3/4 ton front and 30 spline ff 60 rear. Dooley carries a spare short dshaft along with his 44 shafts and such. He has lost a few short shafts and regulary breaks 44 shafts too so that gives you some idea of how he wheels it. His most recent break was a 44 front pinion shaft shearing between the yoke and pinion. Ouch!

Tony,

Thanks for the info. I'm not surprised the d20 works fine as a gear reduction box. I wheeled with Dooley once. He has a cool rig and is a great driver. I'm glad to see he got rid off the IH front D44 he was using.
