It is a 10 bolt that was narrowed and new moser axels were made...I then bought the project...the pinion and carrier were in the rear end but im not sure of their history etc...I pulled the gov loc carrier adn put in a yukon posi...shimmed to .007 and left the pinion alone...so you think i should widen up the backlash a bit?
