Anybody looking for rockwells in Alberta?

I just thought I would share. After much searching I found a place in Edmonton that has rockwells for sale.

I am not connected in anyway with this...........I just want to pass the info on. I think there maybe a few Alberta boys looking!

Yellow page McCaw truck parts in Edmonton and ask for Dick.

We bought diffs off of him 2 years ago ...his prices have gone up a lot since then. It`s worth it to shop around .

What did you pay 2 years ago?

There aint many places to shop around here. The only other I know of, is in Vancouver somewhere. Last price I got quoted was $1200 for a rear, and $1400 for the front.

I intend on calling him. I may stop throwing money at my 60/70, and get some real diffs. I'll post up what I find.

Thanks rigpig on juice

Nat

Hi Nat,

McCaw's has front diifs for $1350 and rears for $750. He has 4 complete sets right now.

$2100.00 for rocks in Edmonton is the cheapest route I have found yet.

If anyone else has a solid lead, feel free to share.

I am pretty sure those are the GM 2.5 tons. From the pics they look to have face loading 2.5 ton GM axles, not top loading rockwells.
