What did he do to my axle?

Your shock mount connections are correct for the front axle on 1984 with wide track axles

Thank you for all your help....everyone. I have found out what I have from all your replies. Rear axle on my 1982 is a WT. The PO swapped the front axle, (to get the larger hubs) from the stock WT to a junk yard NT. Not sure if this was really the correct move, but it's done. Being that I think the rear gears are different than the front gears, I am going to look for a front WT and install that. Do the gears have to match exactly?

Yes, match the gears exactly and don't put it in 4wd until you have matching gears or you will start to hear some snap, crackles, and pops.

So, is there a noticeable difference in the stance? the rear sticks out a bit more than the front with the combo, or no? It is a pretty strange combination, but perhaps the front one broke at some point and that was just what he had to swap in.

When you get the WT front, you can swap the knuckles as well and keep the 6 bolts, that is a nice upgrade to have.

I don't think he has to swap the knuckles !
 
If my fingers weren't frozen...

"When you get the WT front, you can swap the knuckles OUTWARD as well and keep the 6 bolts, that is a nice upgrade to have."

Sorry.

I don't know the gear of the front but the stock Rear WT I think is a 2.73? Whatever is is, I need to re-gear for my 35x12.5s. Maybe 4.10s?
