Started ripping into the crusty rear that I picked up for the truck. To be clear, I live in a location that doesn't have a lot of access to old parts and shipping can/usually does cost more than the part. So while it's not ideal for a couple of reasons; I ended up grabbing an 8.2 rear for the truck out of a 71 lemans. Being from a Lemans it was a coil over car so lots of grinding on bracketry that is no longer required
Have a few parts on the way to hopefully help it out: Moser engineering diff cover Summit Racing Axles Richmond gears 3.73 R/P Yukon Dura Grip and a Richmond Complete Ring and Pinion Installation Kit
Also snagged new and complete drum brakes from craigslist
