I picked up a 9" w/3:73's last week from a local guy. I haven't even had a chance to pull the axles and take a look at the center section yet but it appears to have been sitting around for quite some time. There are no axle brackets or shackle mounts on it what so ever so I have no clue what the previous owner was using it for. The guy I got it from found it in his landlords basement and they just wanted it out of there. Hopefully this will be the foundation of a Lateral Dynamics 3-link in the very near future. Since Mark is twisting my arm.
I haven't had a chance to pressure wash everything so bare with the filth.
You can also see the Precision Industries box sitting at the top of this pic. Hiding inside is a 4200 rpm triple disc converter.
