Welded 7.25

I broke a 3.55 7 1/4 SG behind a 340 in my '65. The pinion took a chunk out of the ring gear and the pinion then turned into a barrel. Now it may have ingested a piece of broken spider gear or something but it was a stinky mess in there. That was on 10" wide tires so there was some 'stress' on this rear end. Replaced it over the weekend with a Junk yard 2.76 one legger so I could get to school and that car was never the same.
