I agree you got a good deal. Out here just the rear axle can bring $300. Your driveshafts will probably need to be lengthened BTW, or at least the rear one. The 12 bolt is a bigger pumpkin and comes further forward than changing the corporate. Also the u-joint size may be different. Hate to rain on the parade but I'm just pointing out the issues I've encountered over 30 years of building old Chevy trucks. Good luck and enjoy!
