What the heck, if it works, run it. Shows what a little inginuity will do. The compression fittings aren't exactly what the inspector would like to see but as long as you don't use the brakes hard it'll work.

Did something like that while going across Nebraska with my old 79 Dodge 3/4 ton full time four wheel drive with a 4:10 rear axle. Was pulling the service trailer when a rear axle bearing went out on the pickup and toasted the axle housing so bad there was no fix to it. Pulled off on a gravel road. This was Saturday afternoon and I was half sick cause I knew axles for 79 3/4 ton Dodges were as scarce as hen's teeth. Remembered going by a little one horse junk yard about ten miles back so we piled in the other pickup and headed back there. He had a few chevies and one old 66 Dodge that happened to be a 3/4 ton and just happened to have a 4:10 rear axle with the same size yoke as mine. This axle was something like a 5200 lb where my old one was 4000 lb. Asked the guy what he wanted and he said "well, I usually get $150 for axles. I couldn't shuck out the bucks fast enough!

We changed the axles on the gravel road and drove to the next town with no brakes cause the old axle had 3/16 lines, I think, and my pickup had 1/8. We did use compression fittings for awhile and they never blew.


When I drove away with the new axle under it I could tell right away the new one ran smoother than the old one ever did. Jim
