Found a mint condition 85 front axle housing (fully trussed) and the guy wants 350 shipped to my door. Is this a good deal or do i need to keep looking. Thank you for the help guys.

This is going under my 90 pickup. Wanting to run 37's

 

Just the housing or a complete axle?

 

since your doing a solid axle swap, I would say buy a complete axle so everything is there and included. Buy a re-build kit and the supports/braces from someone like marlin crawler. Install them yourself and you have an almost new axle from end to end and didn't have to find a bunch of other parts for it.

 

Its just the housing.

 

Pass. Complete axles go for around 200-300 around here, armor will run you another 100.

 

What he said. A bare housing even trussed is worth maybe $100.

What you really need is the knuckle gussets anyway. The truss isn't as important.
