Nice! :clapping:  I just ordered/paid one from Cass last week too! I got 3:55 true-trac upgrade and rear disc brakes and e-brake lines. I ordered B-Body length . timken A-20 tapered roller bearings H/D 3/8 retainer, aluminum caliper brackets.
What length did you get? Stock e-body or b-body length?

I got the stock E-body lenght, with the trur-trac upgarde as well, as I am going to be putting 500 hp to it.  I am going drum brakes on the rear.

Cass is #1 in customer service, and is easy going as well/

My rear ended up costing a couple hundred more than building a 8.75 from scratch. I figured the wow factor was worth it. Since my convert had the puny 7.5 rear I didn't have anything to start with. Dr. Diff drop shipped the housing to me from Strange engineering so I could mock up the panhard bar, sway bar, and three link mounts. I shipped the bare Strange housing after I mocked it up to Cass (Dr Diff), he built the axles, finished the welding, bent the brake lines, assembled the brakes, installed the gears, and powdercoated the whole shebang. Awesome work.

I'm having it shipped to a company just across the border ( USA side). I'll drive over and get it when it arrives. It's about 2 1/2 hours each way....it's gonna be soooo worth it! :hyper:
