Finally got over to my Dad's house to take some pics of the versailles rear, check it out:

The rear pads were almost new! (going to replace anyway.)
Rear is a 2.47 w/ no Traction Lok, no surprising. Dillholes at the yard also cut the E-brake cables! I guess I'll have to have some made up or modify my exitsting ones. At least they left me the ends.

So whattaya guys think?

Very cool. Are you going to swap the gears or leave them?

That looks very much like the iron that I have waiting to go in my 67 coupe. I have not done anything with it yet because I still have 2 quarter panels left to do. Here are some comments / questions.

- I have heard that this rearend will bolt into 67-70 with no mods. Im not sure about 65-66, would it be too wide?
- I had to get a 65-66 shock monting plate to acommodate the wider axle housing.
- I need to change the yoke any suggestions / insight? can I use the yoke off my 8"?
- I will probably go with gears around 3.50 possibly with a locker (if money allows).
- My ebrake cable is gone too, but the brackets are there. I dont think this will be a huge issue.
- I know that an adjustable proportioning valve is needed to make this happen, so I plan on getting one.

I just wanted to keep the thread going - anyone out there who has done this have any input? What obstacles should I expect?
