Hi Jon,
Been a while. How you doin'? Yeah, I figure one day there will be a 9.25"
going in. I don't expect the stock one to last, and I know my wife will
give me grief when it goes. She'll say I was out hot-rodding around.
Imagine that!

Once I get the DAK back on the road, I'm going to look into getting an
aluminum driveshaft made up. No ideal what this would cost, so it may be
enough by itself to push the 9.25" rear right along with it.

R/T's have a different Ujoint yoke.. unless Rich wants to swap in a 9.25"
rear.. C'mon Rich!

CC R/Ts use a 1 piece from all I've seen.
