8.25 setup, any ideas?

Nobody is gonna come up here looking for the stuff.
Heck when I sell something half the time they don't come up here to look at it or get it! LOL
In all seriousness if anyone is in the area I'll gladly show them how I do it.
Maybe I just know the right people, maybe it's dumb luck, or maybe it's because I am patient and wait for the right deals to come along instead of jumping on the first, second or third deals to pass by.
I got a few limited slip 8-3/4" center chucks out of mid 70's Dodge pickups and they usually have 3.55-3.91 gears too!
We do all of our own work as well so I can see labor being an added expense.
Look at my eBay feedback / recently purchased items on eBay I just purchased a brand new limited slip 8-1/4" diff for $195.00 shipped and the same seller sold a few more for $145.00 + shipping. It got here and had some surface rust on it so I sent it back and decided to just use a good used unit that I paid $75.00 for. If you contact him I'm sure he'll sell you the one I sent back for ~$140.00. It was usable, I just couldn't see paying that when I can just get a good used unit at half that price.
I'm glad I went this route because the other $125.00 almost completely paid for my rear disc brake conversion that I bought from a salvage yard down in Kentucky (found it on www.Car-part.com) I just paid the additional $25.00 for shipping. I bought the 3.55:1 ring & pinion gears (and good pinion bearing) for $90.00 shipped off eBay. The differential had good bearings on it so the only other expense was for some lube & additive.

This hobby is expensive, no doubt.
However with a little smarts and a lot of patience, searching, and almost no money I have been able to gather quite the amount of cars, engines, transmissions, and other general stuff (most of which came off eBay btw). It just didn't happen overnight.
I think anyone can find what they are looking for in their price range if they look hard enough.

Maybe I should start being a middleman connecting buyer with the parts they want for a small fee...
