heres 1 with a DANA rearend. he's a buddy. this is taken from the online carshow, page 6 or 7. i'll see if i can take some pics of his rearend work for ya's.
MY name is Quick 1, I was born a 1969 t-top, I have a big block 427, with ported & polished heads, A High rise Intake with dual Quads, Hooker Side Mount headers, an MSD ignition, and 500+hp. My rear end is a Dana 60 narrowed 6 inches, a M-22 rockcrusher 4 speed trans, and Wineberry DELTRON paint to die for!!
I had my 1st owner for 7yrs., then I got lucky to be picked up by my 2nd & current owner who has taken my body off & changed every nut & bolt on me! I have been through 5 different paint jobs, my motor has been rebuilt 4 times, and my rear end has been jerked out & replaced TWICE! Now that Im lookin & feelin good, he still hammers my go pedel! and I LIKE IT!

Go there, it's in a descending order from new to old so the top ones are the new pics w/ the rear (they're called lid..... but they are not the lids)

TT: Thanks for posting those pics!!!
Mike: Did you do all the labor on the rear end yourself? Did you buy a prefabbed back half kit and install it or have someone else do the install? The setup looks great and I watched the video of the engine running. Awesome!!!

WOW!!! Now I got drool all over the keyboard 
Something like that I would have to take in to have done. Any idea what they might charge for labor? Is it still "streetable" or is it too radical to drive on the street? Just curious as I don't plan on any street driving.
