8 3/4 A Body Just picked up

Guys - WHEW! Thanks for replies. I thought something with the pinion was going on? I plan on installing new bearings in the unit and getting it set up correctly. I'm not certain if the rear was ran in the condition as purchased or not but, the nut on the pinion-to-shaft nut was hand tight . . .

Anyone have a line on some A-body BBP axles for an 8 3/4? The unit I have was from a 72 / under Duster.

Thanks again.
