[Spridgets] Broken axle/differential?

[Macy Larry]

I had this happen once before. Frank was convinced it was a half shaft. But he gave me a diff pumpkin anyway. I was right, it was the diff. Half shafts were fine. I suspect, but only have experiential evidence, that when they stuck the 1500 in the cars, they hardened the half shafts. 

Evidence: 2 1500's  (76 & 78), 0 broken half shafts, 2 broken diff pumpkins, 100,000+ miles.

Or maybe they made the diff weaker ;-)

Don't you love it when your brain knows what's right, and your fingers don't listen?
