I am working on a rear end swap now. I have 355 posi. 489 case.. eerr chunk? and stock axles (they look thicker than yours) I just had bearings pressed onto my axles (cone) and popped the seals in myself. Am at the painting stage right now. How did... is your project? I hope you got it resolved.

Jim, Mine is a slllooooowwwww project. I have done nothing w/rear except pull chunk, place it in a 5 gal pail, sprayed with WD, stowed it, axles, housing etc out of the garage in the air compressor shed attached to the side of the garage so its out of the way so when, some day hopefully this season, I can finish clearing out the garage to get the car back down on all fours and pull the engine to start work on the floor and etc. etc. etc. If it's on the road in 5 years I'll be happy.

There is a way to rebuild cone types but it requires machining the spring cups I believe. Not a bolt in rebuild like the clutch type.

Yes this is the process I'm talking about but lack the finite details for.
