Part of me wants a simpler truck without lockouts since it may not see much road time but on the other hand, may be easier to swap the whole axle than a axle shaft and deal with the damage that may be in the pumpkin.

Although, a set of these in this color would look right at home, wouldn't they?

I would definately install the hubs, but if the gear ratio is the same I would probably swap the complete diff. It already has a broken axle let alone all the extra wear on the other parts because it didn't have lockouts. Everything spins all the time, just no load ya know... if you get the yellow lockout knobs I want the blues
