What do you do w/ your 10bolt after a swap?
Just like it says. What is everyone doing w/ their 10-bolts after upgrading rears? I haven't done it yet, but can't decide if I should sell the 10-bolt for a little extra cash, or just keep it for...some reason. I guess getting rid of it would be fine because 10-bolts can be found for cheap if I were to need it. Not that I ever want to go back to stock, or put a 10bolt in it to sell the car. Opinions?

I bought a good, low mileage one locally...paid $150 for it, which seems to be average. Still in my A4 car cutting 1.60 sixty foots....I also bought another spare one, with Eaton posi unit and a girdle for $150...I can still buy maybe 12 more before I get to the point of saying, "I shoulda upgraded to a nine inch or a 12 bolt"...lol.

Finally, someone with the same lodgic as me, however no longer having my open trailer at my disposal, my only concer would be getting it home from the track with a broken rear, a hell of a lot of good my pile of spare 10 bolts does me 50 miles from home when i have a broken ring gear.

My truck pulls great. 97 Silverado ECSB that's been de-chromed. It's pulled a trailer of some sort since brand new. A camper for 7 years, and intermittent car trailering for the last 3.

Mine got deposited right to the scrap yard. When it went about 4 years ago it had bad bearings, broke limited slip, all the spiders, ring, and pinion all were broke or had teeth missing. It was a nice horribly smelling little piece when I opened it up.

I use to do that. Last year I got rid of crap that I've had for 30 years. I took lot of my stuff to my shop that I had up in my garage attic. Anyone want to buy a catalytic converter that I removed from my '77 Trans-Am back in 1978? It only has 18,000 miles on it. lol Bob
