Got a surprise delivery today :)
I was expecting a call from Currie Enterprises this week to OK the shipping charges for the 9 inch I had ordered about 3 weeks ago but got this instead 
Just a bit better than a phone call hehe.
This is their stage 1 rear end minus the 3rd member which I'm buying localy from a friend. That's going to have posi (of course) and 4.56 gears. Should have it in over the weekend if I don't have any problems, worried about the brake lines and driveshaft though. Next step will be finally taking the car to the track to see what it'll do

That's the rear I intend to order very soon! Looks good! But I thought the stage1 kit came with the complete drum setup and thirdmember with gear ratio of your choice too? I thought I read somewhere it comes with the 1350 yoke also.
If you don't mind me asking, what'd run ($$)?? PM me if ya don't want to post it. I understand believe me!

I ordered it without the third member because a friend of mine had what I wanted for a hell of a lot cheaper. You can also get the rear disc upgrade for 100 bucks but I stuck with the 11 inch drums. With shipping and tax it was just a little over 1500 bucks. Shipping was only 68 since Currie is only about 500 miles away, came in 3 boxes by UPS hehe.

LOL yeah, I'm tired of trying to take off only to spin the one wheel. It was so nice when I had the powertrax locker in there but it broke
Going from 3.42 gears to 4.56 gears will make it launch better too Going to give those hoosiers a workout hehe

Looks good. 
Good thing this is a 9in because those 4.56's are killer gears more then most peoples setups can handle. I had a 14 bolt setup with 4.56's behind my 402 it was like driving around in 1st gear in 3rd. I could take off in second with radials and totaly roast them.
You gotta get us some pics of the install and the aftermath.

I'll have to step up in tire size I think, oh well. They'll be fun around town for sure and I don't get on the highway much at all.

yeah i was thinking that the 4.56 s were a little steep for a daily driver ..lol.....
i had a 1 ton quad cab chevy dually with the 14 bolt i believe but it had brand new 4.56 gears in it .....talk about a torque monster it also had the 454 in it ..lol..
only got about 8 miles to the gallon but it also got 8 miles to the gallon even if it were loaded to the top or pulling a car trailer ..lol.....
