I need to find someone to install rear end gears and a posi unit for me. Im in the Huntington/Charelston WV area. Would be able to hit most of KY, and alot of OH if needed.

Anyone trust anyone in those areas??

i was going to say me, but you're too damn close, you might take me up on it. actually there are a lot of shops or people able to do it. it isn't rocket science. the hardest thing to me is having the tools and equipment to do it with not actually doing it. look in the yellow pages for a shop that specializes in drive lines.

I just want to make sure it gets done right. I don't trust any of the hilljack shops around here. I wouldn't trust a shop here to put spark plugs in for me....

I am from Barboursville Wva so I know exactly what you meen, but look around some. wile I cant think of any one off the top of my head there are people up there that know what they are doing. go to the outer arias(ex: saltrock).

I know there is a trany shop in saltrock that does good work. my dad went to them several times. If you want I can find out from him the shops name and if the shop is still around(been 6yrs since I moved). BTW from what I remember they do tranys and rear ends.

You'd trust somebody in salt rock to do anything for you?? LOL.

I'm glad to here you got out of the area. Not really a bad place to live, but boring and not to many jobs.

Find out the name of the place if you can and I will look them up.
