Dearest Group, I am considering purchasing a DANA 60 rear axle from a private party. I have not seen the axle yet, it is in the next state over. Here is what I was able to find out about the axle;
1: 100K plus 2: Open carrier 3: 3.55 gears (if he recalls correctly) 4: No drums (but he thinks the can find them or someone who will have some) 5: Reason being sold; basically has a 1998 Chevy and a banshee that he is pouring his money into, this was for a K5 that he got rid of (as is the sheet metal that I am picking up).Asking price: $100
Bad things;
1: 100K plus 2: Open carrier 3: 3.55 gears (if he recalls correctly) 4: No drums (but he thinks the can find them or someone who will have some)My thought is however since it won't be going right under the truck that it would be a perfect core. I could go in & freshen up seals/bearings/what not, drop some kind of a locker in there with like 4.56 gears and do a disk conversion. That should cover 1-4???
Should I haggle or is this a good deal? Sounds like it's a really good price to me, but I also don't deal with these things daily.
