the cross shafts are the same from an open differential.
Cross shaft in an open will work. I've used them in a cone SG in the past. They are a little shorter and you may have to hone the spiders a little. I think they are just a tiny bit larger in Diameter, like .001. I had my machinist use a con rod resizer. As for the pin you can use a roller bearing .250 diameter and a 1" to 1.250 " in length.
I could use some of the spiders, I have a couple of good cases.

Thanks for the response, but I only need a shaft and pin. I will look into the thought of the open rear end shaft.
Well I guess you didn't understand what I was trying to tell you. You will not find a OEM shaft and pin. They don't make the parts any longer. That is the part that always failed in them. When the cones quit holding the two spider gears spin more than they are designed to. Usually wind up welding one or both spiders to the shaft which in turn rips the pin out of the case. Most of the time you can't get both the gears off the shaft and sometimes the case is so worn out the hole winds up torn up.
