[Joe67]

Finally had the rear end rebuilt and installed, drum to drum.
Rear end is a black powdercoated '72 12 bolt axle housing.

Moser axles
3.73 Ring & Pinion new from DTS
Rebuilt Posi unit
rear cover is painted gloss black
backing plates are black powdercoat
Brakes are Wagner
Painted drums gloss black (of course)

Looks really nice, I bet you dont want to get it dirty now....

Hey 67c10step did you put your rearend together yourself. I can do bodywork like nobodys business and weld and all sorts of things. I just want to learn how to build a rearend for my own knowledge. I want to talk to someone that can give me step by step procedures to build mine. I have a new 3.73 gear, new bearing kit, new auburn posi, I have it all to put together but want to put it together myself instead of paying to have it done.

Not me, I have no experience setting a rear gear up. A buddy of mine took care of that for me. I just dropped off some parts and wrote a check

I am a little lost when it comes to the ratio for the Rear gears. Everybody is telling me that I should find a rear with 2.73. My 68 use to be a police tow truck , so it was used to pull things. My truck will slow down if I let go of the gas going down a hill....lol...what parts do I need to fix this and where can I get it. The truck is 6 lugs. thx

Do you mind sharing approximately how much? Randy's is quoting me $1500 - $1800 for a 3.73 posi rebuild for my '72.

Wow, that looks really nice, That is something that most people over look.

He is a friend of mine and does quite a bit of fabrication work.
He did everything above for $680. He charged me only his cost on all of the parts and about $200 labor. I also gave him my well used 3.73 12 bolt 6 lug rear end out of my '67 chassis from backing plate to backing plate.
