I have to put together a rear end for my Road Runner. Unfortunately, every cone-type Sure-Grip unit I have is shot. Simply worn out from years of abuse.
I know the OEM clutch type units are rebuildable, but they are tough to find these days for a decent price. So, I have been considering using an aftermarket differential. I have been looking at a Detroit Locker and I am wondering if any of you have had experiences with these (and other units) in you own vehicles?
Also, another item I am having a helluva time finding is a 10-spline, spicer 1350 style u-joint yoke. I have found several places that list a part number for it, but they don't stock them. Thoughts? I do NOT want to run a conversion joint.
Any help would be appreciated.

edit: This is for a 489 housing in an 8-3/4" rear end.
