I know new ones are made, but it belongs in a car that I keep stock. Also the center is exposed so it must look stock. Thanks for any help or recommendations.

If the housing is bent (most are and people don't know it) it will need a fixture to ensure a proper alignment. As a machinist by trade, mopars are my hobby. I have a side project in the works that involves straightening and shorting rear ends. I also plan on re-splining axles. Lots of good info on the web on the subject.
