Here's a thought. It's pretty likely you'll need a different length driveshaft, at least on the rear. If John also needs new DS his old one's might fit yours, so that including the DS in the deal could make sense. Worth some measuring?
That is an option to consider. I was planning to have both of my drive shafts adjusted at a local shop, but it would be easier to just get one that works, if the length is right. It appears, based on internet data, the D60 center of yoke is about 1.5" closer to the transfer case than the Ford8.8 center of yoke. It also appears, again, based on internet data, the Atlas II is about 2.5" shorter than the NP231. This will likely present a problem for me since my current rear drive shaft was at the very limit of design (compressed length) with my NP231 and F8.8. However, I am not sure if John's drive shaft will support the length needed with my NP231.
I just do not have the cash available to go to the Atlas at this time and I do not desire to wait on the cash to be available before I get the new axles installed. I am going to see if I can sell my cats, my mom, Kelley, or something else to scrape together some cash, but my hopes are not high!
Clark, once I get the new axles to Allsouth and work with them, we will determine what I can/can't use/modify in terms of driveshafts, control arms, etc and I'll be sure to let you know. Since we are dong the stretch in the rear and going to triangulated 4 link I expect that my current rear control arms will be available and could make life a bit easier.
