standard equibpment in the 3/4 ton trucks... HO52, genericly called the eaton, it is a corperate rear end, with the Eaton diff

what are you planning? It' s a heavy duty 3/4 ton axle and if it runs well and has decent brakes then someone might want it...

My problem is I have ran out of room. Otherwise I would keep it. I hate scrapping thing...but when there isnt any room to keep something Then I have to scrap. If someone wanted it for free...I would gladly give it to them.

if it has the 4.10 gears, then save the 3rd member to sell. I've always gotten 100 bucks out of that with no problems.
If the drums are nice and thick, they are worth a little coin too.
The rest of it isn't worth all that much. (if not hardly anything)

the 3rd member drops all of it out. Think of it as a big ass overgrown ford 9 inch.
