Just keep an eye out. Waggy and Ford 44's pop up pretty often. And I would hold out instead of swapping in a cj 30. It will take the same amount of work as swapping a 44.

I would, but it would be a while before I can afford them... Thanks for the offer though.

Sold my HP 30 housing to a tj, so I tore it down today.... Looks like I was closer to breaking the 30 than I thought.

How does your alignment work since that tab for the drag link is welded?
