    Don't let that 3/4 ton/1 ton rear axle housing go...the two halves bolt up to the early Halibrand champ-style quick change center sections...keep the axle shafts too. Great score

    There's some great deals out on craigslist. You just have to be persistent and check everyday. There's a new version of craigslist helper that will search within however miles radius that you want, and it won't list cities that have no return results. I think it's in the testing mode, but check it out. It's great!
