I actually have to rebuild my front end REAL soon since my diff gasket is leaking.... again. My knuckles actually need the rebuild this time too so I'm basically overhauling the entire axle. Oh yeah, I also have a huge dent in the front of the dif and really have no idea how the ring is not rubbing, it might be. While I'm in there I'm going to pound the dent out and then weld a dif cover on the front (welding will probably not be the same weekend).

Should have come to the STLCA meeting last weekend! We did one 80 and started a 40 but more junk was broke then we had parts for!
