    Wouldn't have a Winters if their QC is the same quality as their 9" floaters. The 9" is cheap crap.

    Those old rear ends with the deep cover were the standard until the late 80’s what we all have now was referred to as a “sprint center” when they first started being used in the early 90’s

    The new car (did I just admit that publicly) has a new style rear end. So yeah I suppose I have been running a rear end from the Reagan administration. Still a lot of them in Sportsman cars around here.

    Shovel on a little more coal, then when we cross white oak mountain, watch 97 roll!

    The problem is the gall dang motors.
