A 5-lug coil sprung rear in a one wheel wonder is worth $100-150 so if you steal it for $50 more power to ya!! It may be a posi, and if so then it is worth $300 or more depending on the ratio. Redneck it, stick it in the trunk of a car it is only 1/8, or get a couple of "BIG" friends to come over and carry it for ya!! Buy beverages, they'll do it, I would!

oldblue1968chevy · 06-10-2009, 11:29 AM

lol beverages are out lol

its far nuff away to shoot it with a pellet gun lol

its gota swb bed on it too, bed is SHOT though...has 2 good steel wheels also

its been sittin awhile, should i have to rebuild anything on it?? bearings brakes anything, id like ot be a plug'n play thingn..

dammitmitchell · 06-10-2009, 11:34 AM

anything with rubber on it

70rs/ss · 06-10-2009, 11:36 AM

I would pull the cover and change gear oil and inspect it to be sure no broken teeth or metal chunks in the carrier (this also allows you to ID if it is a posi or not!), also do a rear brake job, $50 and you won't have to worry about them for a while!!

Jim_PA · 06-10-2009, 11:40 AM

It probably needs new seals all around. Hopefully no water got in it.

grayw0lf · 06-10-2009, 03:16 PM

I'd jump on it for $50.

Yullose · 06-10-2009, 11:43 PM

I'd be willing to bet the ring gear is rusty.

I've seen rears that sat a long time... where anything above the level of the oil becomes rusty from condensation.

I'd pull the cover and check it before handing over any cashmola.

jim zag · 06-11-2009, 05:30 AM

Sounds like a good deal.

oldblue1968chevy · 06-11-2009, 09:08 AM

well its in some briars...if the ring gears rusty...will it have to be replaced, if yet im backing away...

70rs/ss · 06-11-2009, 09:13 AM

Well yes and no, if the rust has made pits, then yeah because that'll weaken the teeth, but again for a $50 rear, I'd still buy it and run it rust or not, clean it up real good and use, just know somewhere down the line you'll need a set of gears ($150-200) and the labor to have it installed (another $200 or so), but untill then you have a 5-lug rear.

**FRENCHBLUE72** · 06-11-2009, 10:10 AM

Any idea what year rear end it is? You may be able to swap the axles into your 6 lug axle? Someone correct me if im wrong ...

BossHogg69 · 06-11-2009, 10:15 AM

71/72 5 lug axles will be too long if it's a pre-71 6 lug rear.

oldblue1968chevy · 06-11-2009, 12:20 PM

**special-K** · 06-12-2009, 08:01 AM

Value would be based on condition,which we know nothing about.But,if the guy is willing to cut his price in half for you because you don`t have as much as he wants and the rear is something you can slap in and run,then yes it`s worth it.

ginter · 06-12-2009, 08:04 AM

If it was my neighbor I would have given him the $100 already.

oldblue1968chevy · 06-12-2009, 11:39 AM

i can buy a whole swb truck for 700 lol

ima try to find him today and offer 50$ so i can have another LITTLE project...

70short · 06-12-2009, 02:35 PM

I can't pick one up at a salvage yard around here for less than $500. with 373's
