Hi Maraguez,

I think Dave found out that the whole rear third member with LSD and 7.5" R&P [color:"blue"] does [/color]fit the front axle housing. You just have to add a little bracket to keep it from rotating with torque.

What we don't know yet is if the rear pinion gear will fit into the front third member housing and mesh properly with the rear 7.5" ring gear. If it will fit, then you could get a rear R&P and an Eaton 26 spline LSD and re-use your front housings.
