Not to mention the steel lines really like to rust out......

 

right on. i'll check the cad vacuum, and if it's sucking. i'm leaving it alone until I buy the posi lock you referenced to me. it sounds like the best $200 i'm gonna spend on this truck. thanks fellas. if by chance you have a foxbody mustang, and run into trouble, feel free to ask me anything. the only car I know every nut and bolt on, built quite a few one has a 427w making 832rwhp.

 

if you get the posilok, get the Alloy version of it. its a lot cheaper.
