Third member source...

[mustangmarty]

If I wanted to swap out the complete third member in my 77 EB for another one in better shape, what application would I look to other than another 77 EB? Open 3.50's would be fine.

dont know if you'll find one any better as most all the 28 spline carriers will be older than your 77 but you can try 66-70 comets/montego's 68-76 cougars, 63-71 fairlanes, 70 falcons 72-76 lincolns, 73-76 torino, 55-76 T-birds, 72-76 mark IV and I believe 57-75 ford trucks and vans also had 28 splines what ever you do you will need to ensure it has 28 splines as there were a lot of these vehicles that did have 31 spline third members also yoke size may be different.

Contact mike at Complete Off Road. He is the Man when it come to gears, and his prices are very fair.

cheap lockers

In the last year i did what you are wanting to do and I got directed to a good deal by John M. Melvin who is on our list. He sent me to a guy named Guy Ratcliff who lives in Plant City Florida and sells Nascar complete drop out third members (used) with 4:11, 4:56, and 4:86 gears with FoMoCo gears with safety wired ring gear bolts, polished Detroit (not off the shelf) Daytona pinion support bearing, 1350 yoke set up and ready to drop in for 650 dollars. He also sells just the detroit locker by itself because i ordered one from him for like 250 dollars or so i cant really remember but i am really happy with the locker and he said he has had no one call him back to tell him that they were able to break the locker. But he can be reached at 813-754-4425 it took a little while for him to send it because he is very busy but i was well worth the wait.

Mike at completeoffroad.com is the one to talk to. Great to work with and tons of help. Great prices as well!

I bought both my front D44 nearly complete, and my rear third member from him last year. 100% satisfied!!!

I just sent an email to completeoffroad. Even if he could help me, I doubt I'd have the parts before I'm suppose to leave for Bama on Friday. I was kind of hoping to run to the wrecking yard and pull something off of an old Ford truck or van today after work.
