But are the axles hardened or are the stock axles? My brother and I have axles from International axle. They are hardened axles and have held up well in our mid year vettes. Tom over there makes the axles him self and has them hardened to his specific Rockwell. He makes them for road race cars. Here they are in action.

If you want the HD axles go with Tom's parts, he has the market for the c2 & C3 HD parts.
I've used Pats spindles and they're fine but they're stock 17 spline, they're not what you want if you have a lot of HP and track time.
The 12 bolt diff I just setup for a 650+ hp 66 vette also used the HD 3.5 shafts and 31 spline outer axles. For that application you can't just do one area as it will move the weakest link down the line. Start with a billet pinion yoke and work your way back to the diff, shafts,and outer spindles.
