When it comes to axle parts, it sure is hard to be Randy's. Local, everything in stock, and good people to deal with.
I still wish I would have bought that forest service truck when you had it for sale...

Big flick...???
The 4x4 rear-end actually came out of an '85 GMC 4x4. Would the '88-91 even fit width-wise in the housing; I thought the NBS trucks had a different width?
I am suprised you haven't picked up that deisel SWB I keep seeing on CL...
