well then... get busy doing too much work IMHO.

Have you asked yourself how much simpler it would be just to scavenge the u joints and bearings??

Yes, you can do it that way. Are the gear ratios the same?

I'm still wondering what "completly shot" means? Housing, Tubes, EVERYTHING?!? *damn...

both u joints were out and both wheel bearings were shot and i tried to take the whell bearings out but nothing budge them not even a slide hammer. so i just did the axle swap and it only took three hours and a few smashed fingers (thats taking the axle out and installing too.)
