Default ebay floater axles

I found this ford floater rear end and to me it look too inexpensive to be real.
Do you guys think this is a piece of junk or its just a nice price for a package like this?
My 10 bolt gm will not fit with a quadralink so I am looking for a 3 inch tube rear end.
This is the link

I can't comment on it's quality, but the description in the auction stated it was 60" wide. That is too wide for a 60's firebird. Stock rearend is about 54"

I've bought a complete 9 inch from them for my dirt track car. I've never had any problems with it.

They make good quality stuff. They also say in the ad that they can make the rears in different widths.

they are about 100 miles from me, most of the racers around here use their stuff, dirt track and drag race guys, I have never heard a bad word about them. They can build whatever you need. I have bought some gears from them but thats the extent of my first hand knowledge
