7.5 diff parts

I am looking for a trac lock for a 7.5 rear. FMS has discontinued their inexpensive one. I am also looking for a 3.27 or 3.45 gearset.

I have a 3.73 axle out of a turbo deisel mark 7 with "low" miles on it. The 1/4" retaining pin broke when I tried to remove it, I might be able to get it out if you wanted the guts. Its a locker.

I honestly dont think you could exceed the cost of a new car buy installing new *stock* parts everywhere in your coug our tbird. Its just plain impossible. You could revamp the entire drivetrain/engine/suspenstion and still come out ahead.

Man, I searched the FS section, guess I didn't read it all. Hope you'll break it down... Truck ship is $125 min, I think on a diff.  Unless you have a source??

Sounds about right on shipping. I could tear it down this weekend. I can do $100 shipped that way. It probably has about 1500 miles on it, if that, I rebuilt it a few years back for mine and then put a 8.8 in it. I can send all the bolts shims and everything marked for each sides. It will probably get you close.
