88 Dana 35 in place of my 91 Dana 35? Brakes swap?

[91coMANche]

I have a terribly howling Dana 35. I have an 88 non-clip 35 in the bed of my truck and a 91 c-clip 35 running in the truck with brand new brakes. If I put the 88 in the truck that is running a 91 D35 will the brakes swap over? Driveshaft U-joint the same?

No, C-clip and Non C-clip brakes (9 x 2.25 vs 10 x 1.75) are not interchangeable. Not even the backing plates will swap. Sorry, but you're SOL on that one. However, if you got ahold of an 8.25, those used the same brakes as the 9" D35.

 

All XJ/MJ axles used the same U-joint.

Oh I didn't realize my non c-clip 35 had 10" drums. So unless the brakes look good on the spare axle its not getting swapped in.
