oh god don't speed $500 on that rear end.. look up 8.8 swaps.. you can get 8.8's that are (if you're lucky) 4.10's lsd and disc brakes.. and ALMOST bolt in swap. you do have to flip the spring perches and weld on shock tabs. just search 8.8 swap, and look in the tech library

or instead of 4.10's you should be able to get one to match your front gears-- if you're happy with those gears

I'll have one or two soon. I'll even help you put it in if you bring the truck.

first off, awesome thread title! i say go get a whole axle assembly from the junkyard. look for one that has the same axle code. it should be on the sticker on the inside of your driver door.
