Calling it quits on a factory A body 8 3/4, bare housings are going for $500+. I will be picking up a complete Imperial 8 3/4 this week for $25. Going with new axles from Dr.Diff and doing his offset spring hangers to gain more room for tires. That’s $500. Picking up a 3.73 sure grip center section for $500 , and having the housing shortened, trued and perches moved is $250. A total of $1275 and it’s built how I want it vs $1500+ for a SBP 3.23 open stock axle in need of a rebuild(plus shipping because I can’t find anything local) it’s going to be the most expensive part of this swap for sure.
Added a new glove box insert today.
