    went junkyarding found a 76 mav...took some emblems off, thats all the good parts it had left.

    also found a 74 comet took the windshield and the parking light trim bezels, found out that they were steel the ones on my mav were plastic and they melted with paint stripper.

    and i found a 77 bobcat:thumbs2: these really make the car look wider plus i didnt have to drill any extra holes(i cut the extra bolt off) so i can switch tailight back and forth.

    and i put the door emblems i found on my gas cap and steering wheel

    Did you check the rear on the Bobcat?

    They are a good source for 8" gears and were available with 'posi' units.

    I got a 3.40 posi out of a Bobcat before.
