I don't get why you're so anti-Japanese - after all, the axle design is either stolen from either Dana or Land Rover so it's just a "continuation" axle. Plus, with 6 lug you can use GM 1/2 wheels. I'd even consider samurai axles in a really-low hp application.... however, the narrowest US axles are bronco and scout... those come in dana 44 and dana 30 flavors.
I knew a guy while I was in college that ran 44s under a Willys, 4" lift and he cut to clear. Lincoln-locked axles, 5.38 gears, (no idea what flavor), a 283 and it would do wheelies on dry parking lots (which is how I met him, he was doing wheelies in a mall parking lot and went over backwards). But I'll tell you what, that Willys would go anywhere. Breathtakingly simple, not terribly expensive, but, because it was light and right-geared... snowmobiles would get stuck and he'd pull them out.... best part is he didn't stretch anything - by doing a small lift, the angles were not unuseable.
Of course, to listen to the magazines, you can't do anything that he did with that Willys - which is probably why I get in so much trouble in Pirate; because I don't believe the hype.
