Thanks to everyone for all of the input.

I got lucky and found a NOS Dana (not a knock off) 3.54 ring and pinion for the rear end on one of my junkyard picks. Someone had bought them, never installed them, and I found them in a parts truck with a few other goodies. I haven't installed it yet.

I'm trying to get most of my parts assembled before I begin on the panel later this summer.
