Just curious. How well would a welded (spider gear) rear 10 bolt 8.5" single track with 31" tires hold up on the street? How about with HD racing axles? 1983 k10. Total bitch on corners?

Wouldn't even consider it. The money you spend on aftermarket axles would be better spent on a FF setup.

I would try it. I have personally fozzy locked 6 or 7 jeep cherokees for my buddies both my samurais and the new rockbuggy i'm building. The jeep axles have the C-clips too and few of them are running 33's on the street and offroad.

I dont think I will ever buy another locker.

What time? I can swap in a 14 bolt faster than I can pull a 10 bolt apart, weld it up, and put it back together.:shaking: So can just about anyone else. You can have all the work done ahead of time, and just swap it out.

As for money, well, I can get a 14 bolt cheaper than custom axle shafts also. Either way, it's a 10 bolt. Ultimately it's probably going to self destruct.

To paraphrase you:

Why spend time and money on something that is probably going to break?
