Divorces

["John Hofstetter" <hofs@domain.elided>]

Epp,
Don't really know the answer to your question, BUT  my 1210 as it came from
the factory had such severe drive shaft angles that I had a heck of a time
keeping universal joints in it. I lubed those rear U-joints about every 1000
miles and still they only lasted 10K to 20K miles.

Subject: T'all's and divorce mounted T-cases

I was wondering if anyone could tell me why the T'alls and the pickups used
a divorce mounted tcase?  What is the reason?  The 4wd t'alls were spring
overs from the factory, but the drop and distance run of the drive shaft
should be similar to the scout.  Anyone?  What would the disadvantages of
using a non divorced tcase with a t'all?
