if anyone has a truck that can help me get the rearend up there would be great... I have a 73 ford pick up i can use but it isnt that good on gas... let me know what it will cost me to go to sanger and back if you got one!

Not to burst your bubble, but that's not really considered installing them. I'm confident that you could do it yourself if you bought or barrowed all of the neccessary tools. Too bad you didn't live closer you wouldn't have had to pull the rear end out.

yea really... the rear end has been sitting in my back yard since feb of this year.. the fox is rolling around on a 4 cyl rear now, and has been since i got it... the rearend has now been cleaned up and preped for gear install.. the old 2:73's removed 410 ring gear mounted to the 28 spline diff, 410 pinion is installed with old crush sleeve and and the mess seems right.. I have a full motive install kit but also bought 2 extra crush sleeves.. will try to install the gears with out using the motive kit if i can..

I bought the 410's for 60 bucks the motive install kit for 60 and the extra crush sleeves for 5 bucks.. the shop wants 150 for the gear install if he has to put more then a hour in it... so really its only costing me 270 bucks at the most... So ears relax... I know what im doing... been doing this for a Very long time
