Assuming that the Salisbury axle is of the same strength as the apparent near twin Dana 60, it seems like further strengthening it is a bit overkill in a chassis that approaches being equal to a U.S. 3/4 ton pick-up. Dana 60's are the OE axle in a lot of those trucks and while it's possible to break a stock one in that service, it is not all that common.
In it one section should have nothing but what ever info someone other than yourself might need to get a replacement for a non-stock part. The "someone else" criteria is critical because it forces you to note what you might otherwise think that you'll remember. 5 years from now you probably won't remember that crucial tidbit of info. The other sections we used for sketching future mods or parts, various settings (points gap, ign timing, valve lash, etc.), etc.
FFT anyway.....
This is a good place to bring up the notebook idea. ANY time you veer from stock in a vehicle prep/build I highly recommend starting a notebook for the whole vehicle. In Vintage Racing we used a spiral bound college ruled 5 topic notebook. That notebook was considered to be as much a part of the car as is the steering wheel.michaelgroves said:
