Thank you, am trying to find one around Reno area but no luck with it.. Finding a bunch for OBS, but am not a welder so kinda leaves those out for me.. Shops around here want $1800 - $2500 to rebuild mine... Quite a bit out of my price range...
if you can't find what you need, I'd be getting the tools and learn how to change them yourself with those prices. Then, if you have the time, start a small business to cut their throat (unless they mainly do racing....u won't touch that). I had both axles (4x4) done for a total of $1,100 locally.

Ya'll hurt me! Lol. Lost the pinion bearing in the 82, 10 bolt, have 3 12 bolts out back was just going to stick under there. Do have a same truck, round eye 80 if I needed the drive shaft.
All you lost is the pinion bearing,and haven't hurt the gears yet? That is so easy you'll be mad at yourself for not fixing it before dinner the day you knew it was out. LMK this is easy.

Well fine Richard! lol. Way I can understand it, the 12 bolt is a "better" rear end than the 10 bolt? Have no idea if there is any farther damage, ain't opened it up. Have measured looked poked, prodded figuring if the 12 bolt would bolt right in. Never look at the emergency brake deal. It's a standard so that is handy to have. I'm gunna gather the parts and fix it, one day, before lunch Richard! Appreciate ya Ricko!

Zelph, I went and picked it up yesterday... exactly what I needed Thank you again for letting me know about it..
That's rad... Glad you got it worked out.

We were going through our parts shelf yesterday and came across a 3.73 R&P from a 10 bolt, dad and I discussed if we knew anyone that would need it and I though of this thread but couldn't remember the ratio you were needing.

To make your life easy get a solid crush sleeve replacement before you do the pinion seal,and inspect the pinion bearing. If it looks bad nows the time for maintenance.
