I’ve had several 8.25 diffs and axel’s that I ended up giving away because nobody wanted them. Swapping out a diff is fairly straightforward and getting a good pattern is usually as simple as setting backlash. He will be lucky if it doesn’t go to the scrapper.

The gears suck but it’s worth a couple hundred bucks, you might even be able to work him down a little to say $150.

Welcome to the forum, that’s a good looking ride!

The car was his personal vehicle and didn’t even have dealer plates on it but once they started checking they checked every vehicle on the lot including my truck. He didn’t have any issues with the business just his vehicle.

I worked for a guy that did it to his personal vehicle and somehow it was discovered, he was a used car dealer, he got charged with a felony and he lost the vehicle plus he was charged with a money crime because he had a bank note on the vehicle that had the frame from another vehicle under it...

Foolish nonsense

Actually that’s not true, it’s a federal felony to switch frames and not have the DOT involved. The legal VIN is what is on the frame unless you go through the process of getting everything legal. Your insurance company might check the VIN on the frame after an accident and if the vehicle has...

I’ve seen those before just never gave them any thought, how would they be a tensioner?

Why is there no photos, I’m truly interested in what the your talking about but I’m having trouble visualizing what you are talking about. Having worked on a scraped far too many A B C and F/M body mopars and haven’t seen anything like what you are describing. Post a damn picture.

Without photos it doesn’t exist, it’s just BS… You can get pictures or screenshots of anything and post them here so after being asked for several times and no pictures, I say it’s Bull Shit.
