HOrnbrod Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 Got a line on the above for cheap. Dana 44 front and rear axles as well as the AMC 360. My question is about the rear end: bolt pattern, wheel center-to-center, SOA configuration? Don't know squat about J10s. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmelo Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 If it was an automatic you don't want it. The rear axle will have an offset pumpkin that is in the same position as the front. They are also passenger side drop in 79 so you won't want anything to do with them. Not to mention the front is also low pinion. Wait until you can find some ford ones.

HOrnbrod Posted April 26, 2009 Author Share Posted April 26, 2009 It's an auto. :fs1: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 I think the J-10 used the same GM 6-bolt pattern as the full-size Cherokee/Wagoneer. What was that, 6x5.0? The J-20 used an 8-bolt pattern -- I don't recall if that was also used on the J-10 but I don't think so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geonovast Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 What's going to happen to it if you don't get it? If it's going to the scrapper, at least save the motor! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOrnbrod Posted April 26, 2009 Author Share Posted April 26, 2009 I have no place to put it unfortunately. :( It's been in a rollover, top of the cab is crushed in. Still runs though, and the driveline is intact. It was offered to one of my relatives, who called me about since he knew I had an MJ. But it's headed for the yard...........

cmelo Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 He could post it on ifsja.org, i'm sure some one more local would save it from destruction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeepcoMJ Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 yeah, do anything you can to save it. I'm going to be picking up an m715 in the near future, and it would be very nice to swap the 4 banger out for a 360. that, with factory 5.13 gears will kick @$$. just need the donor truck lol.

The stock motor in an m715 is a straight six. I agree a 360 swap into an m715 would be awesome though. One more thing the gears in the M715 axles are deeper than 5.13, it's more like 5.89 or something like that. The axles also kind of stink, you're not going to want to go very fast in that heavy beast with the 4 wheel drums and manual brakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 M715s aren't for going fast. The manual steering doesn't exactly lend itself to "spirited" driving, either. M715s are for looking kewl ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
