Yessir, the axles in that kit are the Moser 31 splines.

Are these two parts necessary for the rear end change? :

http://www.latemodelrestoration.com/...-Pinion-Flange <---- Is that one of the axle bearings you mentioned?

I found a good picture showing them (and the C-clip location I think):


Are these the "cross-pins" and bolts you mentioned earlier?

They are not required items for a gear install.

We include the studs in the kit because they are higher torque handling.

The pinion flange is located on the pinion & is where the driveshaft bolts up. On higher mileage cars it is good to replace it as the stock ones typically will leak with a new seal. The old seal wears a groove in the original flange & oil seeps past when a new seal is installed causing a leak. It one of those "cheap insurance" things.

Those are the bearing cap studs on the outer right. The cross pin is the large pin that goes through the center of the diff & keeps the axles from sliding inward. The c-clips are located on the ends of the axles & keep them from sliding out. The cross pin bolt holds the cross pin in the diff.

Is it the tan part, about a third of the way to to the right?

LRSjmac

Pinion yoke in the picture would be where the pinion flange goes. That one looks different as it is for an 05-up. The tan piece is part of the pinion flange & is a seal protector.

How much should I be looking for a shop install of all this. I'm thinking a regular gear install is $250-300. Am I going to get away with this for under $500 with the axles?

LRSjmac

I'd expect that labor would run $350-$400.

Very cool, thanks for your help. Hope the OP got some good info regarding gears along the way too.
