My as well buy all the 9"s also, sell them to the other side of this posting. make twice as much money.



It's been done..........about 25 years ago I was shopping for N cases and 31 spline trac loc stuff at a large yard around here.
The owner told me that two guys stop by regularly and clean him out of all the 9' stuff they can get.
One from Ohio and one from California.
Aftermarket cases were right around the corner then........now we have quite a few choices from Chi Com to pretty nice.
If the 8 3/4 decides to cease being a useful member of society on me , it will be a 9" because it is what I know.
It's not that I dislike a Dana.
They are plenty sturdy. No doubt.
The h.p. I give away isn't enough for me to lose a second's sleep over.
So versatility and familiarity win here.
