How many 8 3/4" 3rd members do you currently have ?
What is the most that you usually keep?
When I got my first 8 3/4" axle, I was anxious to gather up some gearsets to have around. The idea of having a 2.76 for long trips and a 4.10 for drag racing seemed great.
I never warmed up to drag racing though. I'm not fast enough and my car is too heavy. I do like road trips but the super tall 2.76 ratio makes for sluggish starts.
I currently have 6 3rd members.
2.76 open
3.23 open
3.23 SG
3.55 SG
3.91 open
3.91 SG.
I have sold off some over the years but I seem to stumble on others to replace them.
I have 8 3/4" axles in 2 of my cars and 2 of the project cars are slated to get them as well.
These must be durable because most are equipped with original gears and I have never broken any 3rd member so far.
