if you have a 4.10, it's worth some coin. People will pay to ship them cross country.
If you have a locker with any gear, it's worth some coin.

I just sold the lever arms and brackets from the brakes. Springs and cylinders can be had new. Ring and pinions and locker parts don't take up much shelf space either.

Re: Eaton parts worth keeping?

if the drums are thick, they are in high demand too, some versions have been out of production for many years.
Heck, some versions of the brake shoes too.

The offroad guys like them over a 14-bolt because you don`t give anything up and gain a lighter/less bulky rear.They want the low-low gears,too.
