I took the third to J&P Standard off 21 today. He told me the unit used to have a trac-loc system, and showed me where I broke pieces off of it. He also said i'll need new gears and bearings. He wants to charge me 300 without the gears. Im thinking my best bet might just be to find one thats already good to go. No sense in dumping money into this rear end since I'm planning on going to a 10.25 soon. Saw a couple 10.25 out at gordons but no 9's

Try the Pick a Parts in houston. There are usually at least one or two 9s there. I've got a third, pinion support, and open carrier, but I don't have an extra set of 3.55 gears.

They have a complete rear from a 1978 with 3.50s for $200. Throw $150 at the Indian guy and call it a day
Did you call them today? Because the guy I talked to said that the 1978 that you're talking about has been in the system for 800+ days and it's no longer there. I'll try again tomorrow and ask about it.

picked up a rear end today, only problem is it has 3.00 gears. If anyone has some 9" 3.50's please let me know.
edit : found some oem 3.50s on ebay for 35 bucks. this is working out well, I'll be under $200 for this little project, and most of that is going to J&P, I think I scored some good deals

Just ordered the bronco's new sound system.
Got 40 bucks off a kenwood head unit that's usually 120 on crutchfield.
2 6.5"s for the doors
2 6x9 for the rear panels
Speakers are all marine JBL series
Plans later on for a marine amp and an additional 2 6x9's, considering building a sub box for a 12 that doubles as a center console.
Planning on taking the subs out of the Jetta for the alto run

Posting this here for later
1985-1992 f250/f350 drums some were semi-float, undesireable. GAWR 6250 is desireable.
gear swap necessary to fix pinion issues.
1993-1998 f250/f350 stronger pinion
how to tell: long pinion yoke has height of 3.5 inches
short yoke 1.75 inches on splines

Should have all of my parts coming in tomorrow. I'm trying to have the truck back on the road by this weekend.

How does that speaker help you get the truck on the road?
