Cool stuff. The undercarriage looks pretty solid other than the surface rust.

I pulled the rear end out yesterday and discovered that the ring gear is all that's missing. IWE Rear ends only seems to think it's a DAna knock off or a Dana 45. The carrier has a hitachi casting on it though.
This rear end is supposed to have 4.09 gears and I see the g60 has 4:10... Anyone have a loose ring gear that they could measure the id of to see if it's at all close? I'm sure I could adapt the pinion gear if it was and just pull the ring and pinion out of my parts g60... Or buy one from someone here.
