Abuddie of mine had 2 currie axle's built for his early bronco and when the axle's arrived they were also missing some item's..(2 trusses and plateing on the bottom of the pumpkin were not there) Does currie screw up order's alot????

Man I hope not

Injected68LS1 · 09-21-2003, 11:01 PM

That looks great! Just how much was that setup? Did they know exactly where to put the control arm pads?

**1970 CST Short Wide** · 09-22-2003, 10:35 AM

$2100 plus shipping $150 . I measured and gave them what I had and they said, " Thats want we have" . I'm sure I'm not the 1st 67-72 they have built one for. When it arrived I re-measured and it looks good to me. If they wouldn't have forgotten the Trac -Bar it would be in trhe truck and I would be a happy camper

bigvinnie · 09-22-2003, 12:02 PM

I'm curious.... What is it about the ford rears that makes them superior to the GM units..???

**1970 CST Short Wide** · 09-22-2003, 02:44 PM

To be perfectly honest Vinnie I don’t know for sure. I know the gears are beefier and are supposed to be stronger. I needed to have my rear end done and it was going to cost ~$1500 (yes I know some guys do it cheaper) so I figured for another ~$500 - $600 Why Not

lukecp · 09-22-2003, 02:52 PM

The Ford rears have a modular center section. If you decide you want to switch gear ratios, simply drop out the center section and put in a new one.

If you want to swap rears on a non-modular rear (such as a 12 bolt Chevy), you have to completley dismantle it, and install new gears to precision tolerances. Gears, parts and isntallation can easily run up to over $500, much more if you want a posi unit.

The more expensive yards around here want $150 for a complete 9" center section with 3.50 gears and positraction......defenitly much easier and cheaper to deal with
