ever really add up every little nut and bolt item? i mean you figure out what an axle swap is gonna cost and then you add a little extra to cover any extra stuff you forgot only to be really over budget when your done. <IMG SRC="smilies/rolleyes.gif" border="0">

Speaking of costs...Fullsize, are you
really interested in the 2.5 ton Rockwells
that I have. One front/one rear they have the dual yokes...input/output,all five tires
with rims/turned drums and new shoes/various
yokes/various mounting plates for springs.Even a new set of ujoints.
You're right if you add all this stuff up it gets crazy. Make me a decent offer before I find something to put these under....lol.
Also I saw a pair recently without the tires
and accessories. I think it was on Ebay? Anyways the price at the time was 1300.00 if
I remember right.

Contact me directly if interested at:
