***** I doubt it will help ut there is a guy in Oakdale that they tell me is great with them. I got lucky my brother had one he had just pulled that had a set of 3.00, so I just popped the whole thing in. I have my old pumpkin setting on the floor with the 3.50 in them. I also have a set of 3.33 setting on the shelf I was going to install those but thought I would try the 3.00 first. Glad I did I like them much better.
I know a couple of people in the Fresno area so I will check with them to see if they would recomend someone.

If it is the same guy, he is on eBay all the time. We exchanged eMails a few months ago. He seems good, but real pricey. I have all the parts I need - just worried about getting them dialed in correctly.

I have thought about doing one myself just to say I have done one. A long time ago a friend of mine and myself set up his Dana under the car What a chore. These 9" make much more sense to me.
I also shot of an email to a friend of mine in Fresno, he is into cars and racing will see what he says. Also have a friend who races at Madera speedway will talk to him tomorrow to see if he can help.

the 9'' is a very easy axle to setup. check out the diff and tranny forum. it is so simple to build as long as you have a press and a dial indicator.

I thought that the Mustang Ranch was burned down? Used to stop by there once in awhile (dated one of the guys daughters) and after I moved here I heard they burned.
