bagh for the 85 at this point im thinkin about getting rockwells because it has just become stupidly difficult to find a dana 60, not to mention by the time i pay for gears for the 14bolt and a dana 60 it will have cost more anyway...

ive been relatively busy with my latest aquizition a 91 mazda B2600i 4x4, now im just waiting on a distributor for it and it will be running and done with, should definately be a really really fun truck though i dont think ill be able to keep it with money as it is and having as many vehicles as i do.

i seem to have left my camera outside or id show some pictures but a bit about the mazda.
2.6L 12V SOHC. mine has a rebuild motor and i just rebuilt the head, valve job, etc. should be fairly high compression now as the head is decked almost 2mil. the stock motor is rated at about 125hp and 150ftlbs.
it has factory 4.44:1 gears, with an LSD in the rear. 7 3/4" rear diff and what i guess to be a 7 1/2" front diff. factory auto hubs with an electronic push-button hub disconect.
its a really cool truck ive known and wheeled with this particular one for a long time and with 4.44's and that torque little motor it scoots pretty good so im stoked to see it running again, ill toss some pics in here tomorrow
