rear end swap.. from 3.31's to 4.10's

first off i'd like to thank Roddy (Chris) for all his help and swapping out the rear end of my car... i had replaced my stock 7.5 for a better 7.5
the new one has 4.10 gears, T-Lok and aluminum race girdle....

i have been waiting for 1 1/2 months to get this swapped out and since it wasn't happening Roddy was nice enough to offer swapping out the rear for me.. obviously this was an offer i couldn't refuse..

Swap went great and I am very happy with the outcome...
I will post pictures up later...

I had to come into work today so I haven't checked out the camera yet... hopefully the pics turned out..

Why didn't you just swap for the 8.8"?

I guess you really can't go wrong with all the goodies on the new 7.5"

Waiting for pics.....

Pretty easy swap too eh,especially on newer cars cause nothing had time to seize up yet.
Anyways,congrats.I know you've been waiting for some time now to get that thing in.
