Check to see that your driveline is the right length. The 12 bolt pumpkin seems to be a little different in length than the 10 bolt units. If you are getting it for $150.00, I would recommend taking it apart enough to look at your carrier bearings and posi parts. That sounds way TO good to believe. Most salvage yards are asking $600.00 to $1000.00 for a good axle.
DO NOT USE adapters, if you don't have to.

Any idea what a used set of axle shafts should cost? This purchase would be from an individual, so I would need to buy set of axles or have these drilled for 5-lug.
Are recommending chnanging the yoke to match the driveshaft instead of using a u-joint with different sized caps?
