I have been going crazy trying to put together a rear end. It is becoming more difficult than building my motor. I think one of the main reasons is because when i built the engine i was making cash. now i am just getting by. im not sure of the best way to go.
DAMN!

 

I've seen a vendor on eBay that sells a complete 3rd member with trac-loc and your choice of gears already set up. IIRC it was $700-800 for the whole thing.

While that's a lot of $, I may get one of them when I get mine on the road. That way I can switch between my 2.79 open for highway use, then put the one with trac-loc and 3.89's for the street.

Of course, every plan I make usually changes 2-3 times before the time comes.....

 

Here is an Ebay dealer I will be using this winter
8" with "Posi" (yeah I know) limited slip
Choice of gear ratios and new bearings
1 year warranty
$559 plus shipping with exchange of your old one

i have to find his card. i'll get back to you soon.

 

what's your email? i'll send the info that way.

 

Hey Chris66 did you notice the comments under his feedback? i just sent him an email with questions. I will post when he replies.

 

Hmmm...that looks like he has some customer service issues. I guess if you're willing to wait 2 months to receive your 3rd member then it's worth the price. $559 + $50 shipping AND you'll have to pay another $50 to get your 3rd member to him for a core, now you've hit $659, I'd almost rather pay someone $750 for a quicker turn around and keep my other 3rd member as a spare.
They're relatively easy to rebuild, setting the crush sleeve was the biggest pain. I also got lucky when setting my backlash, only took me two adjustments to hit the sweet spot.

 

wow. they now have a website :-)
i bought my 9" rearend for my 64 from them, together with 9" trac loc, disc brakes and moser axles. they made me a good price.
