7.25 rear woes....

A would say a complete good usable 8.75 for an A body is going to run you close to $1000. An 8.25 probably half that. I got my 8" off of craigslist for $20, yes $20. Local yards here want about $250 or so. The last A body bare housing I saw had an asking price of $900. $300 for the axles and $600 for the sure grip center. For that kind of money I would have done a custom 9" and had new parts.
