No one sells the perches, control arm mounts, panhard bar mounts. You could cut the mounts off your 10 bolt and weld them to the new rear, but this is alot of work and you have to get them in the right spot. You can get a Moser housing and axel package for under $1000.00. As far as the 500.00 center, you need to know exactly what is in it. Is it a stock case, N case? Used posi? What gears? There are several threads right now in this section dealing with the same thing. Check those out. They have alot of info.

Yes, you can get Moser axels in 31 spline. Just a FYI on the detroit locker. Though it is one of the strongest diffs for the 9", it is kinda "sloppy" in how it engages and disengages. Some have complained about a swaying motion from the rear as it disengages. It is also very noisy too. Like I said before, check out some of the other threads on 9" diffs in this section of the site.
