i guess ill tell you guys why i need one, I was planning on showing the completed project but ive run into this roadblock... I have a boyer frame that is an exact copy of a pre-runner bronco, with prp tranny, full interior, fully detailed engine compartment...basically Im going for a scale look and ive done everything to the fullest potential to get a presidents award for the nrctpa, I was planning on posting pics of it when its all finished. I just got the headers made by a local modelmaker. anyways, what makes the haulers axles so hard to come by?? does it have the same mounting points as the tlt?? because I dont want to change the three link setup that I am running. any help would be great! the truck has been on the workbench for about a year now....hopefully by october ill have her done.... I work alot, and have a fulltime girlfriend who doesnt believe in my hobby. |

i thought he was wanting a "straight axle" for pulling..... thats what we used years ago ( sassy chassy brand ) in our clods when pulling....the straight axle is stronger than the axle with steering locked out....but i guess hes going for looks and doesn't want the extra links seen....
