    just got back,
    around here 4x4s are way bigger than hot rods
    -no pun intended
    never seen so many truck drivetrain parts in one place before
    rears, fronts, transmissions, shafts...
    acres of the shit,
    although not as much tabaco spit on the ground this year

    I did manage to bring a couple things home,

    an early Bronco rear with spool, all there and at a glance looks good
    will have to check it all out to be sure..

    also grabbed a 9" narrowing kit,
    shaft and bushings so I can cut down my own housings..

    I went there too, pretty insane, not so many useful parts for hotrodder, but such a huge swap meet. Those guys do not clean their merchandise so much, do they... Haha and they don't appreciate chrome parts or vintage parts either... and so I made a few pretty good finds... Nothing special, a couple of spotlights, chromed alternator for $35, peep mirror...
