Like I said, they don't stay long, and they're not real careful how they handle the cars in that yard. But, why would they be? S metal's at all time highs down here, and with a new steel mill being built in LA (Lower Alabama), it's only gonna get worse for older cars. Quote Selected

Let me know if they have one and im sure we can work somehting out...Well, lessee, almost positive someone asked me 'bout 87-88 inner turnies. Might have been a brain fart tho. Best I can suggest at this point, is watch the Pull-A-Part site. They even have a way for it to notify you when a particular car comes in, via e-mail. Great prices, and they ain't too particular about lookin real close either. Twice now, they didn't charge me for parts I told 'em about. They move 'em fast too. www.pullapart.com Will let you check any yard they have, and give ya a map to boot. Won't give you exactly where the car is, but these Fox body front ends stick out like sore thumbs to me. I'll try to keep folks posted when I'm going over. It'll probably be Saturdays only, though. Only problem with the B'ham yard, is they dug up all the asphalt, and now ya gotta push the wheelbarrows on crushed rock. Glad I haven't had anything heavy yet. Thinking about grabbin up an AOD out there, though, and rebuild it to go in my '86. Just wish I had a better shop. Mrs. Paint gets a bit upset when I make a big stink in the garage. It comes into the house. Quote Selected

Its a pain, but I wasted many grinding wheels and cut off wheels and two dremel's trying to get two lugs off back in the day. 10 minutes with a chisel was prolly a couple hours with a cut off wheel. I was thinking more of an angle grinder, put two flat spots on it so I could grab it with a pipe wrench, and add a 4 foot cheater to that. I don't care if I wring off the lug studs. If someone wants the axle, they can always put new studs in, which would be fine idea anyway. Quote Selected

Wrench just ended up rounding off. I'm about to tackle it again. Quote Selected
