Hey guys,

I'm looking into having some work done on a 8.5 10 bolt since I don't have the proper tools to do this myself. I also don't want to shell out $500 for the tool.

Does anybody know of a place where I can have my Truetrac and gears installed?


Thanks in advance!

John has a great reputation. I've known him and raced against him for decades. I just talked to him Wednesday and he is pretty busy as all good specialists are. Give him try and hopefully he can fit you in. Another good person is Pat Hendrix at Precision Motors in Hayward. Known an raced against Pat for over 30 years. Good honest guy. Willie

Hey guys,

Just a quick update. I was finally able to drop off my differential yesterday. John really does seem like a great guy and had some very nice cars at his shop.

Thanks for the recommendation! Saved me from a trip to Stockton.
