I'm having a 73 8-3/4 truck housing cut down to fit my Cuda a little narrower than stock to pull my wheels in and center them up and the truck axles are long enough to cut and re-spline and use. My question is if this is a good idea or not because my engine is a real torquey 408. If I'm not mistaken axles are only hardened so far back and 4" will need to be cut off of them to get them short enough. I have drag radials on it and it hooks up pretty decent so I'm on the fence about this. Has anyone here done this with success or have any input on the subject? If I don't get a definite answer I will spring for a set of aftermarket axles to be safe but if guys have done this successfully it would be nice to know to save the extra bucks.
