Rick, how much did you get the rear for? John Bleakley Ford wants $660.00 for it.

Get one from Max at 5 Star Ford (hint: one of our vendors) and if you are agold member, I am sure he can sweeten the pot. He has thses in stock most of the time. Comes with the 3:73's ready to go. That's what I am going to go with for a posi.
