RARE 1963-66 FACTORY V8 Overdrive rear end w/ trailing arms

Up for grabs to whoever is willing to drive to North East Alabama and get it is a super rare 63-66 rear end w/ trailing arms and springs out from under a running and driving 1965 Chevrolet C-10 pickup that was ordered from the factory with a 283 V8 and a factory 3 speed overdrive transmission. We drove this truck out from my buddy's driveway and he dumped the clutch and stomped the gas (like an idiot) and it took off like a race car and left two strong black marks on the street in front of his house - we were impressed anyway. It is not a positraction, but we think it might be a special kind of rear end that was used in overdrive trucks a lot called a "No Spin"....a no spin was another flavor of positraction that allowed the 2nd wheel to catch whenever the main drive wheel slipped so it acts like a posi....no way to be sure, and I am not going to monkey around with it to try and find out, but it ran beautifully and quiet as a mouse, and didn't leak anywhere and it allowed us to run as fast as 70-80 MPH no problem, so I am thinking its a 3:73 (or maybe even a 3:08) gear set most likely since that was most common in V8 equipped trucks.
Anyway, I have been saving it for some un-identified future project that may never materialize, so if someone is willing to drive here and get it or arrange a shipper it can be yours for the low price of only 150.00 FIRM.

Let me know if interested - I would also consider trades of 55-59 truck parts or 60-61 Apache truck parts - otherwise its not eating anything and it can stay right where it is....Thanks for looking
