Well unfortunately I am not in AZ or I would go get it. I doubt I could find a differential around here without paying some outrageous price, but I will keep my eyes open. If quaife can make one cheaper than $1200 I would buy one. I imagine this could be done with a group purchase which some listmembers have expressed interest in. Anyone have an extra differential laying around they could donate? Nathan P.S. I checked out that 87 Syncro for sale in PA, unfortunately it only has the rear bed and no poptop. The pics were nice and the price is right, but it's not a camper :( >The 87 I just junked is sitting at the yard at the corners of I-8 and I-10 >here in AZ.
