SaWeeeat! I am looking for help with one. I don't have the equipment. Curious where you got the outers, knuck out? Who did you order axles from? I didn't see a pic of the jig used as you welded the tubes?
I have bought a used sunray for the outers and 35 spline N-case detroit lockin' frickin' drop out. Now I need to rework the housing to fool-size and get new axles. I was lookin' at Currie for the axles and have three local sources to get help reworking the housing.
I like that you went all the way with shaving and back errr front brace!
bought used inner and outer knuckles with about 6" of tube from Highonda here on pirate and also got used long side axles from him to have cut down to my custom lenght the ended up building diff to use stock chevy short side axle so only long side is custom
had a local guy spline my axle but ussually use Moser
a buddy that has a 4wd shop here in dayton helped with getting the tubes lined up and all the welding of tubes and internal gussets and brack brace. Then I machined out the the inside diameter of inner c's to fit dana 44 axle tubes and also machined out the 78/79 ford cast c's to fit over tubes then lined it all up and started welding also found part # for a seal to fit 44 axle tube and the 60 shaft here on pirate
also found a used 35 spline arb here on the list the bought the strange eco 3.25 n case and daytona pinion support
and after about a year of plannig and 3 months building it is almost done
