Typo, thanks. Option #3 is a 1967 New Yorker. I fixed the original post.
As far as Option #3 goes, isn't the quality of work just as important to get someone that doesn't hack up the rear end and axles to narrow it? I'm a little in dark on who I would get to do that locally and I assume if they are knowledgeable, they will charge a pretty penny.
Your right, if it isn't done right it ain't worth a hoot. I have to drive 40+ miles to get it done right.
I like option #2 but, those axles will be replaced and that carrier will need to be upgraded to a sure grip (not posi, see I learn quick). So seems most of my $250 goes on the shelf in my garage since I won't be able to sell those pieces.
Thus, my logic to just go with Option #1. I'm pretty sure it's a straight housing. The perches still have some of their legs still welded on the housing so it doesn't look like it was overheated.
