[LOW DOUGH]

Sorry, no pics.


I have a 71 2wd. It has a 69 rear in it right now, but my question is about the 71 rear that was in it.

I ran the rearend dry long ago for 20 miles. I didn't know. It started out fine and started making a roaring noise that only got louder. I thought it was my rear brakes. What a dummy. Anyway, I get to my apartment, stop to punch in the gate code and go in the gate at probably 5 mph and BOOM. The rear shot a tooth out through the dif cover. I am guessing it is a tooth, never did see what actually broke. So, I swapped out the rear and the 71 rear has been sitting ever since. Sorry, long story.... with NO PICS... I know, I know....


Anyway, I want to rebuild the 71 rear and have never done it before. I have seen it done a lot and have a good idea of what to do, but would like to know if anyone has any tips or links to some good reading about it, with PICs would be good.

Also, can anyone suggest a place to get a hole rebuild kit? (axle shaft bearings & seals, carrier bearings, ring & pinion, etc.) I really would like to put a limited slip in it when I do it, but if it is too much I will just go back with the open rear.


I really want to get my truck back to 5 lug all the way around.


Any help is greatly appreciated.


Thanks,
Drew
