    Jeff -
    Pretty sure I have a spare axle I can sell and I'm located in West Michigan. Let me know and I can go foraging in the barn.

    Steve, that would be cool. I did see one on Fb Marketplace in West Olive. Is that you?

    It is not. I avoid FB and don't sell many parts. I did see that I have a spare axle the other day though.....

    Steve, that sounds good. Before I come over do you have any idea if it is a " rebuildable", 71-72 BOP A Body 8.5" ? I assume it is or you would not offer it for sale. Will you be around this weekend? "

    You are correct I would not offer it otherwise. I'll spin it over a couple of times and give it a good look and get some part numbers etc.
    I am out of town for work thru the weekend unfortunately. Available next weekend or most any weeknight beginning next Monday however.
    What town are you located in?

    Roger That. I live in Durand, but work in Lansing. I would prefer to come after work some time next week from Lansing to cut down on mob time. I have to check on my boys basketball schedule. Worst case I will come over next weekend. I will get back to you on schedule.

    Thank You

    That works fine and is an easy drive from Lansing to Rockford. Let me know what works best and we'll go from there.
    Thanks,
    Steve

    Jeff -
    I have additional photo's of the axle itself I will upload and send tomorrow. I did not scrape the axle off for gear ratio, date code etc. I spun it and it's a one legger.
    #1235197 the other other axles I have are #1385724 (not what you are after)

    Hi Jeff ,
    Their was a guy selling a 69 red ragtop with an xtra rear end a year or so ago. He wasn't that far from you,
    might've been a 12 bolt , not sure. Look it up and see, he was selling it seperate.

    Doug Thanks. I ended up purchasing the 8.5" from Steve today. I'll keep an eye out though.
