Ok, I have another little story, Hope I haven't already told this but I sold a 49 ford p/u cab the other day and my lovely wife has agreed that any $ I make from selling parts and what not I can reinvest into my toys. So I go on the hunt for a 9in, I post in the wanted section of cl and shop the auto parts section. I find one about 10 miles from here and commit to it, meanwhile I get a response from the wanted section. The guy tells me its 9in still under a 76 gran torino. Not the gear ratio I was looking for so I told him sorry. I'm walking out the door to buy the one I wanted and got another e-mail from the guy. I could hear the desperation.. he said man I was going to give it all to you rear end and car, landlord wants it gone today. So being the nice guy that I am I went with trk and trlr picked up this gutted body from starsky and hutch and then go buy the other. Get home flip the torino over pull the rearend load the car back up drive 1 mile to the scrap yard and get $191 for the car. Only paid $200 for the other rear so I got 2 9in rear ends for $9 bucks and a little company fuel. Hell yea!Wait... where do these other bolts go?
".......So sanded it all down and resprayed. ......" Been there. done that on a couple of paint jobs over the years. Usually took me a couple of days to get over being mad before I started...
