"new" Tac-Lock ?s
I have a 9" from an early '80s F150 I want to eventually put under my '84 (currently a 8.8 ). The nine inch currently is an open carrier with 2.75 gears in it. I want to change the gears to 3.50 & install a Trac-Loc. I now have both the gears & trac-loc. Both are used & seem to be in decent shape.
Is there anything in particular I should look for on the trac-loc assembly?
I don't have the bolts to hold the gear to the trac-loc assembly, do I need something special, or will regular grade-8 bolts work fine?
I do have a manual & access to tools, but I haven't worked on a rear end before & am open to recomdations/advice. Thanks.

If you haven't done a diff before, I recommend using a shop.
Here for parts, they sell them or you'll know what to look for. As for regular grade 8s, the heads might be too tall....

Spline count in your carrier match the axles?
