Different story here Prerunner. 69c10 is trying to assess value to some parts. We need more info on the rears before anyone could possibly appraise them. I have been fortunate enough to aquire a 12 bolt open diff. rear on Ebay for $100+ship. I believe that was cheap. If your just talking about some stock rears with no posi or lockers then maybe ask $300 for the pair. I paid $90 to ship my rear so a deal with someone local would be preferable. Post in "parts for sale" forums of all three generation trucks too

Guys get their panties in a wad if you post something on the parts board not having a price to go with it, and I didnt have any idea of where to start with a price, so no, i didnt post it in the wrong part... That is why the title was how it was for this, anyways..

I got them today, They are both 10 bolt rearends, open carriers.. I was told the rear was a 12 bolt, but oh well.. Thanks goes to AirMale for actually being helpful in my post.

3.08 open diffs are fairly common and easy to find...you see them in junkyards and in the classifieds up here all the time. For a 4wd vehicle, they aren't very desireable, especially if the truck has been lifted. Good on gas though.

I would guess that $100 each would be a fair price and should sell them fairly quickly.

Yeah I knew that 3.08s were the bottom rung on the totem pole when it came to gear ratios.. I cant keep anything slower then 3.42's on 88-98 front and rears for 4x4's.. but I didnt know the demand for these or a fair price to ask for them
