OK, I was gonna pick up a 9" with 3.50 posi for $75 to partial trade with my 8" and $650 for a brand new 9" rear end with 31 spline axles, etc new brakes etc.
So
2 used rear ends and $650 for a complete brand new one.
Found a guy today. Mentions he has a versailles rear end complete with brand new disc brakes, 3.50 posi the works, he'l sell it for $300.
I know theres a few sites on the swap around. I'm looking at a few right now.
What are your thoughts? Is this the way to go? 4 wheel disc brakes then? Is the swap something someone with much technical ability but no experience with rear ends should be able to do? Or would I be better off paying someone to do the swap? Would I need anything else besides the rear end? All the brake parts are there, I think I need a new yoke, but do I need a different M/C? What about brake lines? I'll make it a winter project, but $300, prolly talk him down to $250 or $275, seems like a good price to me.
Thanks for the help, guys.
