    "Jerry" - Running Posies paralell leafs. Where would I find a Granada or Versille now days? Prefer 5 bolt pattern. Going to have
    Wheel Smith or Wheel Vintique make the wheels with proper setback once I get the rear. Yes, to clear rear fenders and body.
    Thank you.

    "Roger" - Reno is quite a hike from me here in AZ. Shipping is also steep. If I could find someone local that is going to Reno maybe
    I could sell them on the idea of tossing a rear in the back seat on the way home. (IF their "boss" wouldn't mind - HA)
    Thank you.

    Just as a point of reference, the pumpkin I bought, new 4.11 gears, yoke, and D/E TrueTrac was $1072.50 plus $60.50 shipping to my door, $1133.00 via UPS 10/2009. All new parts, set up and ready to go. I don't have a breakout on the John's Industries price for the rear housing - it was in the roller price.

    If you can find the rear you want that's a little off from 58" your wheel guy can adjust the back spacing a little on each side to make it work just fine. It'd be a whole lot cheaper if you can find a salvage unit, but there's some comfort in new stuff if it's in the budget.

    Enjoy the little things in life, and you may look back one day and realize that they were really the BIG things.
