    I should have some pictures and more drails to add this coming weak. The whole ordeal has snow balled and ended up costing me about $500. I am building another two piece shaft. It however uses 3 gold seal 1310 joints, is 2.75" and has a solid bearing pillow block as a center suppot. I'll supply part numbers and machine work needed to make this happen. As well as pictures.

    Then we'll see if it works, or if I just wasted my money.

    Ended up running out of time, so I called my friend John over at Sadler Powertrain and he whipped up what I wanted for me. I still need to get the right pillow block for it and build a mount, but I'll get to that when my lift is free again.

    So what do you have going on there at this point? And what flange setup are you using to connect your rear U-joint to the diff? Still the same one in the pic on page 1?

    I just called East Coast Gear to try to get one of these 6-bolt to 1350 adapters. It seems they are gone and they can't make anymore.

    The sales guy said they made them about 7-8 years ago and the design was done by a employee who is no longer there. They also no longer have the design to get more made . looks like ill have to switch to a bolt diff.

    Edit: Sonnax makes an adaptor for Dodge's that will fit a 6-bolt to 1350 conversion. $200 bucks tho. I picked up another diff and ordered a JTR adaptor.
