    Is there any value here? As the tapered 44 isn't the strongest axle ever, I wouldn't mind having some spare parts. The real value is in the PL, but I already have one on the shelf, so if I could get it cheap enough to sell off the PL and maybe some of the brake parts, then I'd have a spare housing, axle shafts and R&P for near free? I assume those brakes are the classic 1/2 ton GM style with the rotor pressed on behind the wheel hub. Can any tell if those are Eldo calipers with the integrated parking brake, or just standard GM front calipers? I am currently installing the 1/4 ton GM style with outboard rotor, but if its not enough stopping power, I could eventually go the 1/2 ton route and these parts might be useful....the 1/4 ton kit would probably end up on the CJ....
    Don't know why I am really considering this....but maybe throw out an offer and see....something like $100 or $150 bucks and really see if he wants it gone?

    Can't see the ad from my phone, too lazy to fire up the laptop...
    Did I ping you about the axles for sale in my neck of the woods ? I think he has them on Facebook as well... anyway asking myself the same questions about having spares, selling off bits etc.
    The ones here have Warn hubs and a 2 hole knuckle. 3.54's but no lockers.
    Hmmm

    Those are the full size k10 calipers and rotors. No parking brake. Definitely a bit of value in the brakes.

    Duplicating that disc brake kit would cost at least the $250. It looks nicely done, and those are the HD D44 caliper brackets. Then you have a PowrLok with 4.27 gears, all desirable. The housing/axles isn’t much good for much besides a Wagon, and they usually don’t break.
    You could make an offer of $150 to see how motivated the seller is.
