9 1/4 keep or chuck

I dont know how to shorten one myself....but im could use it to learn.

The 9-1/4’s are also found in a be Ram trucks, which I’m sure you know. I see these trucks from time to time being built up and hauling *** pretty well. The rear will hold a good bit of power. It is a lot of effort to narrow a rear end down for an A body use. If you find it easy to do yourself then I’d keep it.

yeah im sure it will turn into my kids problem...lol

Do you still have the vehicle that you put the motor from the Durango in? If it's another Durango or a Dakota, I'd keep all that stuff. I don't know if it would be worth the trouble to swap the 6 lug axles out to put it in something else. I have an 88 D100 that I am removing the 9 1/4 out of, and replacing it with an 8 3/4 from a 70 D100. The 9 1/4 has Bonneville Salt Flat gears (2.45) and the 8 3/4 has 3.55 gears. I'm a semi hoarder of parts too, so I will put the 9 1/4 in the storage shed and let somebody haul it off for scrap when I kick over! LOL
