Ideas wanted. 8 3/4 center section storage

[66FBCharger]

I have a few 8 3/4 center sections kicking around the garage. i am looking for ideas on how to store them. I would like to keep them clean and dry and have them be alittle easier to move.
Let me know how you store them. Pictures would be great!

I have a couple stored in small pails that I picked up somewhere along the way.  The diameter was perfect and the handle allowed me to move them around and I keep gear oil in the buckets just to keep them lubed.

  I use a milk crate, keeps it protected and a lot easier to move around the garage

Get janitor type buckets, they have a lid and wheels.

Why keep them though?  Do you swap them out much?

I don't swap them much.
I guess I am a little bit of a pack rat. I'm saving them in case the kid buys a classic mopar and wants/needs a different center section.

I'm afraid most of us are pack rats.   

If and when your kid buys a classic mopar, the least of his worries will be finding a pumpkin.   

If you have something worth keeping and it's not in the way then why not right?  If however you can get some dough for them and they are nothing special, I'd get rid of them.  But that's just me.

I used to live in between car parts and never again.  The only parts I still have are the few spare parts I kept but I may get rid of much of those as well.  Life's too short to keep all this stuff.

I have 4-5 axle housings with the tubes cut off, plates welded on the ends, and a rebar handle added. They are left overs from stock car racing (when they actually used to run Mopars     ).  Now that junk housings are no longer a dime a dozen, I also use 5-gallon buckets. It helps to add a piece of plywood to the inside bottom.

5 gallon buckets here as well....and wrapped in plastic garbage bag so no dirt gets in

Good point on the plywood. I had some stored in 5 gallon buckets and the bottom cracked which let all my gear oil seep out. That stuff is messy and smells!

Learned the plywood adder the same way. 90 wt is no fun to clean up.

Somewhere I remember seeing specially stamped steel cans that bolted up perfectly to the mounting flange on an 8 3/4 center section, can't for the life of me remember where I saw them.
But if you have twenty dollar bills just blowing around in the shop, one of these nifty plastic numbers would be nice:

Just as an aside though, if you do have 20 dollar bills blowing around the shop I do have a currency pest control business, Ghoste Currency Removal.  We have been in business for nearly four decades now and we are experts at removing this serious safety hazard from your home or professional workshop environment.  The cost is very reasonable and there is almost no location we are not willing to travel to in order to rid your life of this annoyance.  We do homes, farms, medical facilities, schools and libraries too.  Beginning just last year we have also moved into the hospitality sector where we have become adept at clearing your space of money blowing around (thats right, all money not just 20 dollar bils) and even strip bars.  Especially strip bars.
