honestly gun i was hoping to go to a lsd
but cash is short so im trying to find a used one
how much did yours run ya?

 

they are about 500 for the 8"

The tru track is really nice setup all gear driven, no clutch pack and fully transparent under normal driving conditions. Someone could replace your open diff with one and not tell you and you would never know until you mashed on the throttle and it left a pair or stripes.

There are less expensive alternatives that you could look into. I think someone mentioned something in this thread but dont remember exactly what it was..I cant say how nice they are as I have never used anything but the tru track.

Good luck

where did you find one for 500? i havent seen any below 1000

 

I agree with Gun here. If your not going over the 300 mark the truetrack diff in your 8" is the way to go. Its as smooth as you get and no clunk cluck when it engages. We have one in the Currie 9" rear.

 

If your running a stock 302 or even a mild one for that matter, why not just keep the 8 inch and upgrade it?

You can get a center section on ebay thats rebuilt with the gears you want and traction lock.

I think the seller I got my 9 inch center section from was Rmustang or something like that. If I can find the reciept, I'll post back with the seller info.

I have had mine in for a year and about 3500 miles.

I don't know if you plan on doing an OD trans swap or not. If not then stick with 3.00 or 3.20 gears.

 

The picture looks a bit different than i remember but this is it according to the description and the price is the same

ok well i have come across a couple things
i found a 9" housing for 70 bucks and can get that third member from my neighbor
or my grandfather found a whole ford rear end with 3.73 gears and maybe limited slip for really cheap
im supposed to go tomorrow to look at it to see what size it is and for how much
ill take pics and get some measurements

 

which set up did you decide on?

 

use the 8" and have it rebuilt. it WILL be the easiest way in the long run!!
