9 inch rear

I have a chance to buy a 9 inch rear end out of a 79 F150. It has limited slip and 3.50 gears. He is asking $200, does this seem fair? Thanks

Don't know if you're still looking or already bought the rear but figured I'd give my opinion since no one else has. If the spline & gears are decent, I'd say $200 is a real good price.

We paid $150 just for the spline & gears at a swap meet. This was higher than they were asking for the gear ratio your looking at, but the 3.50's were still going for $100+.

I know this is late, but $200 for an entire 9" axle w/ limited slip is a great price (if it's in good shape). I wanted a LS 3rd member and that alone was $150.

By the way, Limited Slip and Posi are the same thing. LS or "Track Loc" are Ford's terms and Posi is a GM term. They both do the same thing though. If you're talking about a solid axle, a spool or mini-spool is the way to go.
