well, change of plans. i was driving home from a friend's house the other day when i started getting a loud click in the rear end...it just kept getting worse and worse. sounds like time for a new R&P

now, the only thing good about my stock rear now is the passenger side axle shaft
![hahaha :hahaha:](https://board.marlincrawler.com/Smileys/marlin/hahaha.gif)
so i tear down my '90 axle, and lo and behold, i the pinion has 8 teeth and a green dot! 4.38s baby, perfect match! i figured it had been swapped due to the crappy RTV all over the mating surface, but it doesn't matter now. only thing wrong with the housing is a siezed bearing on the passenger side axle shaft.
so what's the best way to get this thing mounted under my truck? are there any spring plates i can scavenge for a junkyard to do a quicky ubolt flip since it's got the 3" wide perch and 3" housing? i figure i can use muffler clamps like budbuilt to mount my shocks, for now anyway. also, how would you go about extending the e-brake cable?
