2 THINGS:

1) Yes, without an absolute doubt to the Posi unit....do it!!
2) I've bought from that ebay seller and I recommend them. Great people to work with. I bought a True Trac for my 9".

Take a look at Power Trax. http://www.powertrax.com/index.php/p...ertrax-no-slip

I have one installed in my 69 Camaro and I have one sitting on the bench ready to go in my 72 GMC. The nice thing about this is when you are driving in a straight line, you get no slip at all.

I bought them off of eBay. They are plastic. I put dynamat on the back of them to make them feel different. It's overkill on it but it's not as plasticky feeling now. I like them. They were the only ones I found that had scrolls to match the seat and didn't have wood grain on them.

Bought it.

I like that unit but am unfamiliar with that. Is it rebuildable too? I got the eaton because it is. I will probably get another for my next build early on like when I get the motor /tranny. I hate going back and doing drive train/mechanical things at this point.

I assume it is, I've just never had an issue with the one in the Camaro. Unlike a posi unit, this thing absolutely locks up when your driving straight. No slip at all.

Hi Chuck,

The truck is looking excellent. I wanted to know if you were going to be around next week on Thursday or Friday. I will be in Chattanooga but will have time to drive up and meet you if possible. I sent a message out to Rus also. Let me know and maybe we can meet up. I would love to see that beautiful truck in person.

Take care,
Tom

Very nice work on the console Chuck, I still need to do the same thing to mine. You didn't happen to save the part number for that radio box? Keep the pictures coming.

There's a swap meet/show at the Nashville fairgrounds on Saturday, the 28th. Maybe some of us could meet up there and walk around.

That might work for me too. I am driving back to Michigan on Saturday but maybe able to stop there for a while.

I will still plan to see you on Friday Chuck and congrats on 27 yrs

Take a break, you deserve it.

I had a great lunch w/my nieces and went and bought another head unit that takes a 3.5 on the rear. This ones a pioneer. I got it in case I want to hook that IR repeater. I think the phone control will be fine but we'll see. This will be the first time I've hidden a stereo. not sure its worth all the trouble. I found a steering wheel control but not sure if I'm going to got that route either.

Today I did a job that I've been putting off for a while but it needed to be done today. I swapped out the heater hoses that were leaking. The ones I got from Auto Zone had small holes every like two to three inches. Well they leaked at those holes so I got a Gates hose from Napa. All together and no leaks. The in-laws came up so I didn't get much further.
