welds broke!

After lookin at some pics on that pirate 4x4 link, I'm wondering if I was sold a drw axle.  How long should the hub part be that sticks out?  I mean the part with the 8 bolts u take out to get out shaft.  How long should they stick out past where rim would rest against lug nuts on a SRW?

i know theres a bout a 3 inch differance in hub lenght between a 73 3/4 ton ff14 bolt and the 79 1 ton dually ff 14 bolt i just picked up.. i also found the 1 ton spring perches are closer togather.. not sure if that helps ya.. just what ive seen..

The difference isnt so much in years as it is between dually and 1-ton..

if your shims are ok then you will be ok, REMEMBER ANYTHING you take out you have to put back. The housing has been shimed, so keep everything in order and pull the guts make sure you keep everything in the same spots do not mix up the shims. Old timers did it this way, what do you do about the pinion feal it (tighten it feal it and adjust) My dad still rebuilds rearends this way and this is how he told me to do it! and his dad and his dad so IKNOW IT WORKS! NO BS
