Has any one purchased the 3.55 gears and gear kit from Classic Parts? I know the standard seems to be Patricks but i have seen posts about not getting orders for months after you are charged for them so it is making me a bit skid-dish on purchasing from him. My guess is they all are sourced from one manufacturer any way. If you purchased from Classic how was the quality of the parts? I have been happy with everything i have got from classic as almost all my parts purchases have been from them i have just never seen a post on anybody actually purchasing them from classic.

Classic Parts probably gets their 3.55 R&P set from Patrick's. That is one reason one soon after Patrick's is out of sets, most other vendors are also out of sets.

Mothertrucker in AZ also sells the 3.55 set from castings made for him (at a very good price - maybe from the same molds?).

As you posted, get the installation kit.

I know Patrick's had a problem once when an entire ocean container full of these was held up by an insurance adjuster because of some damage. That caused him to be out of stock and orders to be late by about 6 weeks.
