sell this to hot pocket
appearently the amc has the same carrier from 3.08 on up? i thought the break was like a normal axle around 3.73/3.92? i might just buy the gears and weld it up if its true.
yes the break is 3.31. . . http://jeeptech.com/axle/amc20.html
I would most definitely buy it, but I wouldn't have told anyone on here what you got it for. Rookie mistake.
Boats and hoes
Stumble in to the liquor store
With a dollar-fifty for a bottle of wine,
I know just what I'm lookin for
Thunderbird will do just fine.
Doesn't make any difference to me, what they should be paying attention to is how much I'm selling it for. After looking around on-line at other yjs with similar appearance/condition/parts. I think I'll be listing it for $3,000 with hopes of getting that in Dallas and probably $2500 elsewhere.
is there a difference in chevy 3/4ton d44 8 lug outers? or are they all the same?
i would be a nice guy and sell it to hot pocket for what you got it for and maybe some extra

Got a friend to help me replace the timing belt and water pump, then when the clutch went out I had him help me with that. I was actually about your age (sophomore in college?) The best way to learn is to start doing. You're not gonna learn how to swap out an axleshaft or anything else until you get in there and get your hands dirty doing it.
Same here. I had some decent background before though, as I had helped mike and a couple other friends swap engines. However, most of the time I did stuff I was completely brand new at it. My time line went like this.
Bought a blazer, put 6" springs in the front and a shackle flip in the rear with 2.5" springs. I bought all the crap to convert the front to 8 lug, and went to the junkyard and bought a 14 bolt. I had a shop do the gears, swap in the 14 bolt and swap the 8 lug crap on. They told me they wouldn't charge me extra, as it was easy to do when doing the gears.
That was great, until spring break. I had done a ton of mudding up until then and had never looked at bearings, etc... Hell I didn't know how. Well I learned how in galveston when my wheel almost fell off... Problem was there wasn't anything left!
1988 Blazer...RIP
