I got my 78 Bronco:
It has numerous problems and the most prominent are the brakes, the engine, and gear ratios.
Next is my 1971 VW Super Beetle.
It's also got a lot of issues namely the engine and the rust. Among a ton of other things. The bronco is my baby though and will always be the center of my concern. The VW was bought as a daily driver/project/childhood dream car. I'd like to make the truck into more of a toy than a daily driver and the bug into a stock sleeper.

Depends on what axles they are and what gears are in them along with how much. Right now we estimated they are 2.73 in the rear and 3.55 in the front. Thus, I cannot used 4wd or I will be in deeper trouble. As of right now, I don't have space for more car parts otherwise I'd be in trouble with my parents. Plus it would be a while before they got put in unless I just rob the gears out and sell the axle housings. Mine are good it's just the gears I need.

I don't know if it would be worth it for 2 axles though. Depends on the gears, the condition, and price I guess. If I feel it's something I can afford and it would be worth going that far to get them, then I'll try to make it happen.

Dylan if you get the full assembly and that would be the best way to sell
you parts after you get what you need. Your going to need a truck or trailer
to transport them. If you can find a way to help with the fuel cost I do have
a truck that can pick the stuff up. Just keep me in mind.

whats happening boys... i haven't been on here in like a week 
well yesterday i picked up some pretty new wheels to put on my van - now i just have to buy tires for them. i'll have load range G michelins on there - so no more complaining about constant tire failures for me... front tires come in on tuesday, and rear ones when i have the money for them. in the past week i've had 2 front tires go bulging on me, so i had to reclaim some out-of-round junkers from the trash pile to get by for a few more days. i can't wait till those days are over!
