Eaton also makes a good unit. If you are going that far I would upgrade to 31 spline axles. Moser, Superior, Alloy, and FRPPall offer 31 spline c-clip axles that will bolt in.

Ive heard great things about the detroit trutrack. Thats what i bought. Im getting mine installed today but i wont be driving the car this winter so i cant tell ya how it is for a while (took the whole rear out). Do a seach, thats what i did. That helped me choose the trutrack.

Haha. I a mini spool with 3.80's and a 4spd toploader in my 65. man was it fun! It sucked driving on the freeway with those gears though.


Anyone have any experience with the Powertrax from Richmond Gear?
