Re: Need Model 20 Parts Help

[Bill Garwood <amc.hornet@xxxxxxxxx>]

Frank,

Thanks for the info.  My local shop said they did not have anything
like that.  Now when I say local, we're in small town backwoods
eastern NC.  There are a couple of Jeep off road specialists within an
hour's drive from here on the NC Outerbanks and a big Jeep dealer in
Chesapeake, VA.   There's a big drive train shop in Norfolk, VA.

I'll let you know how it all turns out.  I have all my parts and
pieces (minus the thrust washers) to do the model 20 upgrade that I
mentioned to you before.

New 4.10 ring and pinion, one-piece axles, disc brake kit, bearings
etc. all finally here and ready to go.

Thanks for the info.
