I bought a 10 bolt out of a mid 70s camaro (bought two whole cars, didn’t check it) for my 58 Chevy Apache-L92/4L80. Opened it up to find it covered in surface rust.
I assume it was under water at some point. It rolls free with a rough spot but is still needs to be fully cleaned out. Think this could be run? The 9”/4 link upgrade isn’t in the budget yet.
So it depends on your project. I've done a few 10 bolt upgrades on my 2nd gen LS swaps.
1. Upgrade to a posi that you can run 30 spline axles. I like and use Tru Track posi and Moser axles.
2. Weld the axle tubes to the center section. Locally the welding shop I use use nickel arc rod with a controlled cool down since you are welding cast iron to mild steel.
3. And again depending on your project upgrade the pinion yoke to 1350 u-joints.

It doesn't get any more clear than this.
Otherwise, pull the axles, plug the tubes and fill it with some liquid evaporust stuff. Your call.
