    Sorry, meant Melvin's Classic Ford Parts.

    Pretty nice people to deal with also. I think that's it, but I've seen the speckled on ebay, but not the tire cover.

    Brandon,

    Your flange and gauges will be sent tomorrow afternoon and should be there by end of next week.

    Let me know what size of tubing you need -- I can more than likely get it for you!

    put my t5 in the shop and let them change the bearing retainer and rear seal... Bought a mini starter, ordered new motor and trans mounts... I either need to have my 100amp alternator fixed or buy a new one...

    Filled in side marker cut-outs, welded up firewall heater penetrations, patched old floor shifter penetration, finished setting up new 8" diff, and prepped/painted new-to-me 8" housing.

    Okay, I, actually, did these things over the past two days.

    Ordered NAS Bolts, and 4130 Chromoly Tube for the 4link.

    Tomorrow, I will be ordering my 9" housing, axle tubes, and flanges.

    Rear suspension is COMPLETE after that... well besides the coil overs.
