WTB: 10 bolt or 12 bolt with 3.73's in Houston area

The gears in my 76' are too high for the 700r4 that was swapped in. Also, I just noticed that the rear end is leaking a little oil around the yoke. Rather than fix it and replace the gears, I figure it would be easier and cheaper to just replace the rear end. If anyone has one, send me a pm.

Thanks

Thanks for the tip, I may end up just fixing it if it is that easy. I want lower gears and I figured I might be able to buy a used rearend cheaper than I can get just the gears.

I've got a set of 3.73's that have about 500 miles on them. I changed to these from the factory 3.08's, then changed transmissions that had different overdrive ratios so i promptly took them back out. I'd take $50 for them. The tail bearing and shim is still on there so the pinion depth and set up should be close. Let me know
