8 1/4 rear end 2.45 gears!

I also have an 8.25" with 2:45 gears. I wrote to Dr.diff, and told him that I found a 3:55 sure grip carrier with gears in a '78 power wagon. He said all I needed to do the swap was a bearing, and seal kit for $110, so if you look for a late 70s half ton pickup you might get lucky like I did.
