Also what spline and what are they from? Do you need them or are you looking to turn a profit? If profit is what your after then wouldn't pay more than $50 a piece. That's all I can get out of a 9 inch with 3.00 or down open gear sets. A 3.50 set up will bring more and a 4.11 even more. Add a trac loc and the price just jumped $100. If you get a 28 spline trac loc it will sell much quicker than a 31 spline unit.

Any complete axle, drum to drum, around here is worth $100-$135, even DRW. Some of the "undesirable" axles such as 3.00 9 inches and 7.5 rears are even less, maybe $50.00.

Look for this tag mounted on the third member, https://www.ford-trucks.com/user_gal...=94739&width=0, will probably need to scrap off some greas to read the gear ration number. If your truck is 4x4, make sure you match up the front gear ratio with your new 9" rear end.

The third member (also known as "aka" carrier housing) and is the part which hold the yoke, pinon gear, ring gear and bearings. https://www.ford-trucks.com/user_gal...=94740&width=0 The rear tag is mounted to one of the ten nuts which hold the third member in place.

thanks for the post, Buck, but the two rear ends that i am talking about are in the bed of my truck. don't think the rope/duct tape trick will work.

Lift the axle housing and place a block under to hold up alxe. mark yoke with paint and mark drum. Have an assistance count how many time the drum turns and count how many times the yoke has turned. Go 2 complete revs with the yoke and count how many times the axle / drum rotated. divide number of times yoke turned into number of revs the axle drum rotated to solve for the gear ratio.
