Was trying to get an idea of what I should pay for a ‘68 type O rear differential with 3.42 gears and 588 posi carrier. The housing has been changed because the original was damaged. I think it’s an SA housing. Says it’s ready to run. Is there a going rate assuming gears look fine?

 

Used good to go in decent shape 800-1000

I had my 10 bolt rebuilt w new bearings and changed gear to 3:42 and added posi for about $1400

 

I got a brand new anti spin carrier assembly with new 342 ring and pinion set and the inst stall kit for 1,195 inc. shipping my housing was a se typ o. from supercars unlimited they were great to work with. every thing went just as it should have

 

Around here they are hard to find. With rusty axle tubes and not too messed with $1000 or so for a used one. Rebuilt and , or nice $1650 and up , the last one I sold $2500..

 

He’s asking $900.

 

That is not a crazy price these days. Check it out if close by and maybe he would take less $$ ?? Good Luck!

But as Rog stated almost same $$$ for new posi and gears you could put in axle you already have

 

Hard to pass up when it’s literally across the street. I passed up on it a couple years ago when he tried to trade me for a $600 ATV, but he told me it was a 2.73. I’m kicking myself for telling him the TM code was a lower gear.
He’s a Chevy guy and when he got it it was under a Camaro. The TM housing had been hacked up with new brackets to fit.

 

IF your car has the same 28 spline axle
With a good housing you could add the gears / posi
I would not pay more than $400 for that scene


Just saying

hope you find what makes you happy

 

I’m happy regardless
