If anyone is interested in doing the same soild axle conversation, I have a complete Moser 9" that will fit in the rear a of a C5. It has the following; 35 spline axles with spool, housing is back braced, torque arm brackets, lower control arms brackets. nodular center section with 3.73's. I also have a BMR extreme duty cromoly torque arm, this is a $660 torque.

I'll sell the complete Moser 9" and BMR extreme duty Torque arm for
$2000.00. Located in the Dallas area.

I love all of the chassis guys & shops but it's still nice to see someone tackle this in the "backyard" I wish I had the time, space & talent to do stuff like this myself.

Keep it up & good luck,
Dave
