Buy a rusted or otherwise driveable 98-99 Pull the high pinion D30, the 29 sp 8.25. Sell some of the stuff, scrap the rest and you will have free matching axles, plus spare parts and you can end up with a few hundred ducats cash money. Around here I can see 8 of them on CL for 4-800$. Most can be driven away. Some have a bad tranny, or rusted frame, or the problems are compounded by stupid things like windows, locks, wipers, sensors and codes that people just don't want to deal with and need them to disappear.
