    Excellent info Dennis, so of all the combinations of CV (big and small 
    outer diameter, big and small inner splines) the only combination they 
    don't make is big outer diameter and small splines.  Darn EXACT.  So it looks 
    like the only way to make this work it to get a 89 90 FWD shaft and hope it 
    fits. YES

    As to the ring and pinion, I don't want to swap the entire r/p, I just want 
    to take the side gears out of the carrier, and stick them in the other 
    carrier.  At most, I would have to take the ring gear off the carrier to 
    get the cross pin out.  You can do this on the Ford 9" rear end in my 
    truck.  No re-set up should be required as I would be using all the same 
    parts in the same tranny except the side gears that attach the stubs.

    I DONT KNOW I NEVER CHECKED IT.

      Sadly it isn't.  It's an 012 box.  The two drive flanges have different 
    diameters and spline counts on the stub that goes into the tranny.

    The 01A on 90FWD and 100Q can be swap, 016 too.
