2019 summer race.... Jadaharabi vs 318willrun

After voting today and going out to eat I spent the rest of the day trying to get an old truck dana 60 apart.
How did that go you say.
The pinion came loose after a hour or so of looking for the socket.
Then an hour to get the first axle out. Then another hour to cut off the end of the axle with a chop saw.
Then another hour trying unsuccessfully to get the second axle out.
I messed with that beast untill 8 pm then called it quits for the evening.
What I found interesting is the tubes are not the 1/2 thick ones you usually see they are 1/4 or 3/8 thick with 3 inch od and it has a 30 spline carrier with 12 x 2 brakes. It must be about a 1968 ford axle.
.
Got it apart. Three spots of pitting on the ring gear. Crap.

Pinion looks great.
Clinton trip on hold for the moment till I find my other set of 3.54's.
Rockford swap meet still a go.
