so I've been slowly going through the truck, 78 K10, and have been noticing what look like lots of original parts, some things have been serviced on the truck but in general the trans, t/case and axles are overlooked by most people. anyway, I'm getting ready to service the rear axle and wonder if there is a rebuild kit for the G80 carrier just in case or would I have to buy a new unit for it if its toast.

Eh, the G80 isn't very reliable anyway.
