Are you going to reuse the Eaton rear axle? If so are going to convert to rear disc brakes? I hear drums and shoes are hard to find for these. I would love to build a front axle out of one of these (like Napco did) 14 bolt side gears allow you to increase the spline count on the axles. Some 44 or 60 open knuckles welded on the ends of an Eaton would make a cool front axle housing.
