I put a Halibrand champ style in my truck. I found through a friend, it was manufactured in 1962 but never used. It was just the center case and the bells. I had to scrounge up all the parts which wasn't that bad. there is a lot of that stuff around if you ain't in a hurry. Everything was new except the posi unit but I went threw that. Curry rear ends put the tubes in and the ends on in there fixture after I welded my brackets on, and made the axles. I had to buy the main shaft and some seals from Halibrand. That was it, I have about $3200 in it but it's brand new with 4:11's in it. I had it polished and have been told buy friends of mine that the early casting polish nicer that the late stuff. Mine really looks nice. Hope this helps you make your decision, nothing looks better in a hiboy than a quick change. Just my opinion.
