Thanks for the conversation. The OEM 2.79 OPEN will go back in the '74 until my resources can provide the needed parts. ($). I have the 'spool' 3.80 center to have rebuilt . At least the 74's axle fasteners will be esasier when it comes back out, had a hell of a time slide-hammern' bearing out one side. The large Rhinebeck NY Swap and Show is May 4,5 and 6 and there are a few gear vendors I usually talk to there... I have two t5's cores to talk about that were part of 74 upgrade. One T5 is a Z-spec. have fun
lol.. that brings back some bad memories from yesteryear. Not looking forward to pulling/swapping mine out this summer either. Sounds like you have a plan.. good luck with it all.
