14 Bolt for the Off Roader...SHAVED!!!! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

drink2mny · 01-23-2005, 12:34 PM

Well finished a new project/ product. We will be adding this to our site this year. Not sure of a price yet, but do know the customer will supply the empty housing. Or it will cost a little more if we supply it..

No more 14 bolt hanging lower that you dana 44 or dana 60 up front.
We have shaved about 2- 2 1/2" off the bottom( great for the rock climber that wants a strong axle but didn't like the low point of the diff)

We have also added a stronger Diff cover to it also. So no more worries about bashing a rock and ripping your diff cover. This is better than a Rock ring.

What do you guys think?

The cover is a 3/8" ring around
3/8" in the center over the ring gear.
1/4" plates on the sides of the center.

Ours is a 1/2" plate machined for 40 thousands for ring clearance
on the bottom.
we remove about 2" off the bottom.
You gain about 1 1/2" ground clearance.
Ours is also Welded by a certified cast welder.

so, how does it seal on the bottom where there is no flange for the gasket?

I'd like to be the first to test it out for you, when can you install? LOL
Great looking job!

You still have a 1/2" thick plate to seal against..

Thanks guys
This isn't really the novice type job to try.
