Thank you for the admonishment and technically it's the CUCV Hotrodding and Modifications sub-forum. . . ;-)
Really though, thanks!
BTW, what is the new title?
Like the Deuce, and 5 ton mod/hotrod forums?
Thanks,
Ed
p.s.
guess I'm a little slow, it took me all weekend and today to find the "subforum" :popcorn:
The reason they use the saginaw joint on the 1009 is because the stock 1008 driveshaft doesn't have the clearance between the yokes at the angles involved and will bind. The clips are on the inside on the saginaw joint. I have to grease my joints (lol) every 1500-2000 miles to make them live...
Shock mounts different, perches narrower on the 14 bolt 1008 vs the 10 bolt 1009
here are some pics of the joint I'm using on my 1009, it's a precision part number 447 and is a 1350 cap and a saginaw cap, I swapped the output 1310 yoke on the 1009 TH400 with the 1350 yoke from the 1008 TH400...
When I put the 14 bolt in my 1009 I found a 3/4 ton suburban in a junk yard and used that 14 bolt housing, instead of hacking and welding the spring perches.
Curious why you are going to cut the rear axle down?
Why not just relocate the spring pads on the rear axle?
Also, the front axle, is there a reason to retube and extend? axle shafts are pricey?
The 1009 stuff is 1310 u joints, the 1008 stuff is 1350
If I'm wrong, someone else chime in.

I might be wrong :p but I think the manufacturer of the motor is irrelevant, if it's a LDT-465, the parts are interchangeable. Once you figure out what parts you need post it, and see if someone on here can supply what you need, will most likely be cheaper than the parts outfits like Memphis...
