Thats fine, I'll see about getting my dad down there or something. How much for the entire thing? I'll try to pull together some cash, since that thing "should" swap in almost problem free in an afternoon.

Worse comes to worse, I'll have to find a TC rear between Olympia and Seattle and deal with the new brakes.

Nevermind if seek is taking the WHOLE rear

Yeah, my 7.5 howls louder than any other road/wind noise. I don't think it'll last too much longer.

He mentioned it having the 8.8" rear 2 weeks ago when I was up at his place, it peaked my interest then. Depending on if I can get my dad to drive down (110 miles each way, not many but still a few) to bring it to his house, then I'll likely get it. Otherwise, I'm not sure...I'm sure Michael would pull any brake parts.

Can't get a hold of my dad right at the moment, so not sure how this will turn out.

I'm more pricing it then anything at this point. I have brand new 9" stuff on my car, which is what I will be swapping. But if I can get 10" stuff I may do that. You have first pick man

$150 complete brake drum to brake drum. I don't even want to mess with pulling brakes and whatnot. I want everything off of this car sold fast and cheap.

Okay, give me some time to get in touch with my dad, I'll see what I can do and when. I think he gets like 20mpg highway with his Silverado Turbo Diesel so gas won't be *too *bad...truck weighs 11,000 lbs though! Lots of tools in the rear compartments.

Alright, picking up the rear for sure, and I'm going to find out if he wants the motor. FINALLY, after all these years (car's been in family since 91, rear end has made noise since then, just slowly getting louder and louder) I can have a quiet ride.

and this will give me a chance to check them bolts down there (we put new ujoints in 2 years ago)...in reference to the other thread of loosening bolts.

Friday evening sound good? I'll get a specific time, but it may not be 100% accurate since he has to commute from Seattle after work (he finishes around 3-4 I think). It really depends where his job is at on Friday. I'll be meeting up with him there, then driving back to Seattle to install on Saturday (I only have basic tools here, he has everything, plus some)

If you need more time, let me know. Its either next weekend or the following, then two weeks of no possibility. He's going to pass on the motor, since he only wants to find a core.

How is the center cap on the steering wheel?  My tbird symbol came off and I could use another one.  I could use a lot more misc. parts, but for right now I want the cap in good condition.  I'll get back to you soon about more stuff i may need before you ship.

Symbol came off? Aren't they etched INTO the cap? I'd have to look at my sport steering wheel though, haven't used it in years. I think he has an intact steering wheel though, still mounted.

On the Sport it has an "emblem" in the cap. Friday works fine.

Mike, reminds me, I need a sterring wheel horn cover thing with a bird emblem on it. I thik it's an 88 wheel with a cougar emblem. I can get a pic if you need, but I hope you understand what I'm asking
