I pulled it out of a truck/van rearend that had been sitting with a few other rear ends that are out in the open.....

I have them soaking right now and but on initial inspection they are pitted..... I will take a better look after cleaning them....

Okay here's both cones and both cone housings ...... I'm not seeing any marks were they bottomed..... should I go ahead and do the Machining and spacer kit since I've got it this far down????

And I'm still not 100% sure what part I supposed to machine, looks like the bottom side of the cones... ?? ...

Well evidently spider and side gears are not available as replacement parts......

As this is not a daily Driver and will not be driven in the rain at all, I think I am going to just put a spool in it. ...

I mailed a set of side and spider gears to FABO member 63spf, for free. I didn’t even charge him SH....
PM him see if he still has them available.
I believe he didn’t use them.
If you’re not a FABO member, I can PM him.

No I'm not a member over there, although I may sign up cuz I've got an a body 8.75 rear end I'm going to put up for sale here before too much longer I think......

And thanks for the offer, but I'm really seriously thinking about the spool.

Dr Diff has a lightweight spool for $100 , that's about what I would have in that cone style Sure Grip by the time I have it machined and pay for the shim kit I would imagine

Ooo, an B 8¾". I was looking at one and might have committed to it (depending on his response), just an hour earlier.

Parts wish list.... .5 oz yellow paint pen........ reality..... Dave snagged a 5 gallon bucket of yellow line paint from the hwy. dpt. 12 years ago and still has 4.8 gallons left. :)

Id almost split the difference between the two pics, but if the pattern is right and it feels right, run it.
