Mel, these were used gears I got from a nice fellow on here.  What do you want pics of?  Meanwhile I have a nice used rebuilt recently set of 2.80 pumpkin gears to sell....lol.  I love the 3.55's but I will have to change the speedo gear as the speedometer is way off now...lol.

Hey, everything sounded just fine and no leaks anywhere so I am glad about that.  As far as I can tell, the gears are smooth as silk!   :)
