Is that the rear that you just picked up?

Have a game plan yet?
It's Gumby's fault.

Old rear end I was saving up for the 5 lug swap. My plan is next check buy some of the rear end stuff and swap out the rear end. Just hoping that the body mounts aren't shaged up at all. This wasnt even the side i was having problems with idk how the hell this happened

 dude, glad you weren't up to speed and lost the axle. Let me know if there's anything you need in the way of parts, and if I was closer, I could help flip wrenches..

I honestly dont think you could exceed the cost of a new car buy installing new *stock* parts everywhere in your coug our tbird. Its just plain impossible. You could revamp the entire drivetrain/engine/suspenstion and still come out ahead.

I wish I could pick up a 7.5 from you, but utah is crazy far from me. Also my friend sold me a car and is towing it to me from Arizona. It should be here in about a week so I shouldn't be too long without a car.
