    Glenn, if it helps, the Maverick/Granada/Mustang units are a perfect width for your T, and feature easy to cut off spring perches only. They used them from mid 60's to late '70's.

    Do you have the axles too? There are different lengths, is why I ask. Smart way to go buying a new housing and stuffing it with used parts.

    BTW, I know we aren't supposed to have discussions on a For Sale item, but I think this info might help you. You might want to look into buying the backing plate/drums setup new from Currie. My Son just bought one for his 9 incher, and when he did the math it wasn't much more than going to AutoZone and buying parts to rebuild his old setup. Autozone and others get better than $ 100 a drum for new ones.

    Well, let's see... Tom F is coming through today and will be going home with an empty trailer, that would get it to Minnesota..... Now if we could find someone going from Minnesota a bit further east.... Maybe we could relay it out there???? CHR's version of the Pony Express!!!!!

    Oh well, Tom already left anyway..... $100.00 for the 8", unfortunately it'd cost at least twice that to ship it to ya.....

    thanks dave,
    Hopefully you can find one a lot closer... In the meantime I'll check around for someone heading your way... Whereabouts in Pa. do you live? I do have some trucker buddies with flatbeds that occasionally go east on I-80.......
