I hadta rebuild the one in my 57 panel years ago - not hard, and everything is available except the axles, which are around used - I found a used complete carrier easily - I later got a 3.90 NOS complete carrier w/ all gears and bearings, and the rear end place said they didn't want it as part trade on a 3.38 set cuz they got lots and no demand!
a stock rear is standing up to my
buddy\'s built 427 , and I've seen him pull the front wheels off the ground - the original will be fine unless it's already got chewed up teeth
if it ain't broke, don't waste effort fixin it!
