Need help with possible deals

[mikep]

Its another weird day of parts shopping. I went looking for a complete 4.56 or 4.88 geared 3/4 ton Dana 60 rear end that I can swap my fresh rebuilt dana 60 4 series powrlok carrier into . Did a bunch of calling around and didnt find what I was looking for but I did find some interesting deals. Tell me what you think...

For $250 I can get a complete 4 WD running set with 4.56 gears . The front is a Dana 44 and the rear is an Eaton. Included is a spare transfer case in addition to the one that came in the truck and all the drivelines . I figure I could possibly trade the rest of the parts for an Eaton Locker assy. I just need the rear end. Then I'd have the 4 series Dana carrier to get rid of or trade for an eaton locker ...hmmm.

For $100 I can get a complete Dana 60 out of a 1972 4 WD and for another $100 the front axle. Dont know the gearing yet until the guy checks tomorrow but he told me that if I buy the rear end he'll GIVE me a 72 blazer frame. What do I need with that . You tell me... I need a 4.56 dana 60 so if it pans out that the gears are right I'd be set.
