Arrival

Received the 8" traction lock today, gotta love getting home to a huge box weighing 100 lbs. I took a chance on buying from this guy out of Ohio, he's a retired technician, builds 8s and 9s on the side, can convert your 8" housing to fit a 9" also. It took him a month and a half, but finally got it today, looks good... I took a few pics but am having technical difficulties with the flash on my camera they're too dark, so I won't even bother with them.

Really can't wait to bolt this baby in and take the stang for a spin with my new gear ratio.... I've also been dying to see two tire marks left in the street.

Sound great, I need to look into that too. What rear axle ratio did you get, and what did he charge you?

 

[bnickel]

congratulations, how much did it cost you if you don't mind me asking

I got a trac loc built with a 3.40 ratio. Originally I was interested in 3.50 or 3.55 ratio, but he said he had a new 3.40 ring & pinion laying around that he'd throw in a t-loc for me, I paid $575 for it and $50 shipping. Most of the pricing I found locally was in the same range... mustangs plus.. $950
Hardened case, freshly painted. Looks real nice, I'll have to get a few pics up here.

Think I'll be doing the same.... with stock 14" wheels traction might be an issue now... where as before I could only break em off when it was wet... or if I dropped it into manual low.
