Sent that tracking number by PM Looks like you'll get your crate on April 1 No foolin'.
Funny, same day wife has Dr. visit on mainland and we detour 'a bit' and pickup that '71 f100 axle assembly. She's not very keen on the old 90w smell which will be wafting up from the back of my old gov't issue suburban, so I'm thinking we pick up a kid's rubber ball like 9 1/2" dia, we bring some big rubber bands cut from an old red inner tube. Oughta hold that ball against the housing for a 'gas tight' seal. I'll hear about it if not..... Edit: perhaps napa here has that gasket. Ill check tomorrow. I could trace it onto 1/2" ply and make a bolt on cover.
