Don't remember saved it a while ago. Was planning on rebuilding and regearing the 12 bolt that was originally in my truck but decided it was less hassle to just buy a new 9 inch housing with axles that was already built with the flip mounts on it and a spooled center section with the gears I wanted and just change the yoke for a billet 1350.
