Thanks.

If I had engaged my brain a little sooner I would have answered my own question /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

However I did find a complete Dana 44 and a complete 9" rear (to go under my '85) about 2 1/2 hours from where I live-$450 for the Dana and $200 for the 9". The fella has both of these under his '87 for now. So would this be a good deal? And just how much work to change the front and rear out?

yo,

No.
