  2. In and effort to reduce the spam on the site, several years ago I had went to a program where I manually approve each and every new registration. This approval gives you full access to the site, to pictures, and to post, among other things. To be able to enjoy the full potential of the board for you, you need to be fully registered.. and that's easy.. Just send an email to me at jim@trishieldperformance.com and I will verify your registration. This policy will remain in effect indefinitely, as it has completely eliminated the bad actors from our site, who would spam and hack it, once they gained access. Thanks JW

New Axles - 8.2 ???

    My '68 GS with 8.2 inch posi rear has had the misfortune of eating an axle and bearing. It is impossible to find a new axle and I am reluctant to buy a used axle and pay shipping to find out it is wrong or no good.

    Where all this is leading - is that I have found a company that can use my existing axles and make new ones. They would be exact duplicates. These guys are an axle builder and the new ones would probably be better than the originals. However they will not be cheap. Is anyone interested in getting in on the production run? Probably looking at $250.00 each plus shipping. This will include wheel studs, but no bearings. You will need to find your own.

    Let me know if interested.

    I can help you through Moser which will be cheaper than that . I would not be surprised if they are not doing that too...BUT making good money off it. PLEASE contact me I am here to help you guys. Jim

    PS YES, I am making money too. :dollar: BUT not that much...lol.

    Moser can make you a PAIR for 345.00 and I can get them for 335.00 NOT much off BUT it is better than NOTHING...lol.


    You probably have the sealed bearing axles ...Yes?

    I think I can also get some Yukon axles also that will fit your application too. ...OOOpps Just checked pricing and they are more expensive than Moser too. So that is the way to go then.

    PM me if you would like to discuss I will get you a phone number. Jim
