Default Finally getting my gears in

My car is currently getting 4.10's and a trac loc rebuild right now. Also getting a B&M Transgo shift kit put in.
Ive had the parts for a few months but every time I asked somebody they said they would put them in but never got back to me. Finally a guy I know said he would do them for me and I dropped the car off this morning. I should have it back tomorrow or Friday.

He's charging me $320 to put in the gears with all new bearings, rebuild the trac loc unit (posi) and install the shift kit.

Its got brand new tires so theyre ok for a while. Im not really sure how to break them in.
I plan on changing axles eventually for a 5 lug swap so the gear lube will get changed then.
