WHATS THE BEST WAY TO GO ABOUT GETTING MY HARDBODY REAR NARROWED? I'VE CHECKED AROUND A LITTLE LOCALLY AND NOBODY SEEMS TO WANT TO HELP. WE HAVE ONE RACE SHOP AND I CAN'T GET A HOLD OF THEM TO CHECK. ANYBODY GOT ONE BY CHANCE? THANKS

I am getting the rear shortened in my truck right now, the best bet is to pull the axles and dif so nobody else has to and take it to a machine shop that already has a jig for rears. Call currie or mosher to get new axles made.

Moser.

You could also try to find a 6 lug rear that is narrower and use that instead (Ford Courier maybe?)

the courier rear and the 81-87 isuzu pups have a very narrow rear end

Moser will do it and you get your axles shortened by them too. Very quick turnaround on there axles. I narrowed a toy rear for my nissan. I turned down some pucks on my lathe that fit where the bearing fit and used a 1 1\2" x 6' cold rolled solid rod to line them all up then welded it all up. Worked liked a dream.

moser is the best place to order your axles by far but as far as the housing i always dothem myself i charge 800 including new axles 400 if you get your own i use a 6 inch tubing cutter for the housing that way i know its straight
