I just read in one of the earlier post's that the pre 1969 axle shafts were only a 23 spline shaft. These axles must be really weak I would imagine. I have read about some guys putting 11.18's with either a small or big block using these axles. Do you guys know if they break parts. I know a dana 70 is suppose to be a supper strong axle , but i've also been told that these axles with less than 30 or 35 spline shafts are REALLY WEAK. PLEASE someone tell me the TRUTH. I have a set of off of a early one ton that I planned on using along with a big block and big tires. These axles look strong as hell ,, are they really as weak as I've been told?? Thanks to all that respond.
