I spoke with dr diff a few weeks ago about rearend parts. As we are rebuilding an A-body 8 3/4 rearend sure grip. He really only does a couple 741 sets, 742, 489 and Dana 60 stuff. Nothing in the 7.25 let alone complete housings. The 7.25 sure grip I saw was in Canada. Lol.

Cheap, abundant, and commonly have a 2.76 year ratio that works well for garden tractor pullers and will never break on a tractor with less than the usual 20/25 hp. They were common to be used in cub cadets. And the sure grip ones were common usage. Probably why most car guys can't find them.

I am one of those garden tractor puller guys. And I'm telling you that there is one in tri cities/maple ridge for $300. Lol. And I was wrong about its location. I think it's in the Spokane craigslist page.

There is one on craigslist for sale for $300 in a 2.76 year ratio. I don't know how to post the link. But its listed on the tri cities idaho/maple ridge page. He is asking $300 for it.

I called the other guy in my area. He looks and sounds to have a 20 year collection of parts that he got from another collector. Waiting to hear back from him on a few items. There is also a guy on the Seattle list with a large part out of c body convertibles and others. I will figure out how to...

Yeah, he finally got back to me and is saying that it is a tow yard car. I've bought cars from tow yards before and have titled them as daily drivers. He drops his price frequently and has told me $620. I'm just not getting the best vibe on it. There is a different guy listing massive amounts of...

There is an ad in my area for a guy selling a '68 sport fury 383 2dr 8.75. Says it the commando, missing radiator(I got one from a bb sport fury already) center onsole shift with nice console. Obviously non running, been on there off and on last couple years. Started wanting like 1200 now down...

That is one sweet '37! $750 for the '31 isn't too bad of a price. At least compared to what I've seen offered for sale in our area. Unless you are talking model A's, they are abundant of course and not out of range money wise.

Okay, thanks for letting me know.

We definitely don't see enough of the old brothers. I see a few very dilapidated examples of them from time to time. With the occasional restored senior six motors. The fast four in mine was a limited engine run of about 7 months of production. The ones I see listed are not usually going for...

How much is your buddy asking for the 1915 dodge he is selling? Just out of curiosity.

It's awesome to see a section at a car show. All the shows I've been to are lucky to have even one dodge there.

Lol, I meant at least 30 minutes more as well. For some reason I wrote 15.

Lol, at least 15 minutes more. And no highway driving in them, obviously. There is a model t club in out area, they drive down the road to my house a few times a year during the summer months. It's a 50 mph road. But I don't think they are breaking speeds higher than 40 mph.

I don't see too many old pre war dodge cars in my neck of the woods. But they are around for sure. Of course nothing like the model t's, which I have been wanting to get one of those as well. Those are a dime a dozen. There is a guy listing a whole lot of model t bodies, frames, drivetrains. He...
