I really want to keep the ten bolt if possible. The problem is I also want to eliminate the c clips and put tapered bearings on the tube ends so I can go around corners reliably. I would like to do this without a bolt on c clip eliminator kit like the one from Strange. From what I've been able to find out so far, I'm looking at a lot of custom work. I hate it because the ten bolt is plenty strong enough for me, weighs less, and robs less power than the 12 bolt or 9 in. For me, it's the superior choice. I'm just not certain I can get it built to go around corners reliably. I need to do more research.
This is also completely separate from figuring out this scraping noise, too. The rear will get swapped out eventually.
Thanks

I love them 85's.
No one near you to re do and overhaul it? Get the tubes silicon bronzed up and new ends for bolt in axles.
