    I'm finally getting back to work on the truck. Bought a 8.8 Ford Explorer rear end to put in it. Found a good one with 3.73 gears and posi with 31 spline axles. Whoever let it go to the salvage yard had recently put drilled and slotted rotors on it. Calipers are missing but pretty cheap to buy, gonna need brake hoses and parking brake cables along with new PB shoes and brake pads. It currently has a truck 12 bolt in it, but it has 3.08 gears and no posi and drum brakes. I figured I'd come out saving alot of money starting with a decent 8.8 vs. upgrading the 12 bolt. Got the 8.8 for $368.00 delivered.
