Default Dana 44 and Dana 36 Half shafts.

Are they the same part number?

I'm pretty sure they interchange Rich.

New Drag Radials are in and I am getting worried about the half shafts now.

It's going to be hit or miss. The rear will be fine, or it'll snap. If you're overly concerned, get a long straight edge and paint a line on the half shafts. You can monitor them for twisting.

I know Scorp and a few other guys bring spare half shafts when they race, sometimes a 5 hour one way travel time without a trailer. That's beyond ballsy!!

All C4 halfshafts are the same except for a few 1990 ZR1s got steel shafts. Besides that they are all identical Dana 36 or Dana 44.

Like Jay said my friends and I from MA bring halfshafts and the tools to change them with us on long race trips. Usually along with an alternator and some plug wires too. :D
