Hello. badcompany719. Timken "set 10" is the bearing. There are flat roller bearings for sale, and there are taper roller bearings out there for sale. Look for the taper roller bearings. I have seen a BCR bearing that has an outer race/press ring combo...junk. Do not accept a bearing made in China. Timken and USA, and KOJO (Japan) are the best. Mexico seem to be fine as well. NO China. The rollers will flake, then destroy the race. I also have bronze for this at $45.00 each bushing. (Must use a stock seal). Never a failure.
mkvien: the short answer is yes, it will work. You could look at it from another way as well. Find the 35 spline side gears, and put those in your Dana carrier you have now. You would need to bore out the carrier for the bigger axle shafts. Also, you will not be able to use the full floater hubs from a Dana 60. The hole will not accept a 35 spline axle shaft. If you cut off the hubs for a weld on (single wheel bearing) housing end, you will be fine. What ever you do, avoid the Dana 61. The 61 has the same cover plate, but that is all. We have found them a big pain to work with. We had to machine special ring gear spacers for what we did.. Not quick, and not cheap. All for now. David Bryan

Hello. Finally, another great step. Moser is now making an axle shaft with 40 spline, and heat treated for circle track, and has a 1/2" flange. I am not sure if they will call this new shaft a "Hobby" or not. My guess is yes. I will have a few pairs in my hands early next week. The shaft could still be better, but this should be as good as we have had up to present date. David Bryan

David Bryan Any luck getting them to stick the centering hub out a little further from the flange, that would be a nice improvement as well? |

David Bryan It looks like I can buy a used 35-spline carrier for around $50, so that is why I was wondering as it seems to be a nice low cost option. I didn't, however, consider what you said about the axle not fitting through the full-floater hubs. Guess I would have figured that out eventually, would have been another expensive lesson. Suppose I could just give up on the dang for 9" stuff and go to a 35-spline D60 with Hobby Stock, there goes another $600 for axles & ends... |

David do you do anything with setting up 8 3/4 rear center sections?

Hello. Sorry, no 8 3/4". I do not have any cores. I know parts are a little bit more than other makes, but not that much more. A full spool is listed at $190, gear sets at $210, and set up kits at $110. Full spools, up to 35 spline, are available for the 8 3/4". Thank you for asking. David Bryan

i have a few questions for you david. im starting to run gm 10 bolt bia rear ends. i hear that i should go with the 12 bolt bia axles. which 12 bolt axles should i be looking for when i go around the local salvage yards?also what full spool and other parts should i purchase to make this rear end come together. i plan on running 5.13 gear ratio. i just want to built it right the first time and make sure that everything i have is going to work lol. thanks for your time.

Hello. Factory GM, 31 spline, bolt in axle shafts are covered. I doubt you will be able to find very many of these left in salvage yards. If you can find them, I would try and find at least five or so BEFORE you buy a full spool (31 spline). You will need spare axle shafts. If you can not find these shafts easily, then I feel it is cost worthy to buy new. Even if only running for a few years. (8 to 10 derbies should pay off a new pair of Moser axle shafts). Some drivers will pay for a set in one derby. For example; 8th place is $150 (with a broken axle shaft) 2nd place is $750 (with no broken axle shaft). This is $600. Just about enough to pay for a set.
$625.00 is my price for a "loaded" pair of Moser Hobby stock axle shafts. (plus shipping).
If you think to buy new, then go up to the 33 spline in the GM 10 bolt. You may also think about going with the plentiful 8.8" and then go 35 spline. The 8.8" WILL require after-market housing ends. $90.00 per pair for the deep bore. The full spool price is about the same as my 31 spline spool at $190.00. The 8.8" from a Ford full size car, will also bolt in a GM.
I hope this helps. David Bryan
