My truck is an 89, dad's is an 81 full size ram. As for anti-lock, mine
don't work so I'm not worried about it. We have an 8 3/4 out of older
vehicles (70's) and on mine the spring purches had to be moved. Mine is a 5
bolt, so I didn't have to worry with the 6 lug mess. When I put the 904
tranny in mine a couple months ago, I had to have my drive shaft made
shorter, don't know if I will have to have it cut again or not. It only
cost me like 30 dollars to have it cut and balanced.
