My 7.25 is toast - where can I get a upgrade?

...preferably rebuilt and a direct replacement.

The 8 1/4 isn't a 100% direct replacement, but it's very close. You'll need to shorten the driveshaft slightly and you'll also need the shock plates and U-bolts. I was able to move over all the brake parts including the backing plates and drums from my BBP 7 1/4 when I did my swap. The hard part is finding one.
