New rear housing.
Does anyone make a new rear housing so I can transfer my ring and pinions to it? it is a 9 bolt with 3.27 gears in it. It doesn't matter if it's made it here in the US or Australia.I'm pretty sure they don't make new axles so I will have to get good used ones.

Not that I'm aware of... it's an ANTIQUE.
Why would you, or anybody for that matter, want that at all?

Re: New rear housing.
That was a confusing post. Wanting to keep your existing R&P suggests a tight budget, but wanting a new housing suggests the opposite.
If you managed to break what you have with too much power / traction, then you can get your choice of a new Dana 60 from Strange, which you should never break, or a new 12-bolt from either Strange or Moser, or a new 9" from any of a dozen aftermarket builders.
The replies already given are good for a tight budget fix, but if you did break it with power, then it will prove cheaper to upgrade now rather than keep breaking more of the stock stuff, only to end up investing in the upgrade anyway.
If you broke it with power and don't have the funds for upgrading, then read all the old threads in here about the 8.8 swaps.
