Re: 51 gmc
The issue isn't reliability or strength. It's guys who just can't handle the thought of the driveshaft running back in an absolute straight line be it Ford 8 inch, 9 inch or Explorer rear. Figure most of those Explorers get well past 200K before they hit the wrecking yards and I for one have never heard of drive shaft issues with them in stock form.
B-mac's photo shows there isn't a clearance issue with the 4 link under the truck.
