in good shape, doesn't need to win any beauty prizes but shouldn't have bent tubes / inner Cs / brackets, etc.

Preferably with cover, shafts, knuckles, and unit bearings. I could care less about anything else.

Not looking to spend a lot of money (I can get one for $130 with all steering and brakes all day any day at my local yard, just don't feel like pulling one if I don't have to.) I just need a new housing to get me through till I put my 60s in the jeep, my passenger lower balljoint is hand tight in the inner C and it's making me a bit nervous.

Anyone got one hanging around unwanted? I'll pick up anywhere within ~50-75 miles of southbridge basically, further if I'm going that way for another reason already.
 
Why didn't you say something before I grabbed mine saturday?

If you want a disconnect one I know of one
 
I only thought of it about an hour or two before I posted it :(

Yours was missing some stuff I'd rather not have to go junkyard hunting for, too.
 
the inner Cs have been bent, and bent back with a BFH. The inner C on the passenger side is so loose the balljoint slides out of it. The balljoints are FUBAR. the pinion bearing is getting pretty loose. the LCA mounts are kinda bent up. the inner seals are leaking like a sieve.

There is nothing good about this axle except the locker and cover. Believe it or not I have good reasons to buy a new axle instead of ghetto patching this one more, I might somewhat know what I am doing.

That is why I want to buy a new one, spend an hour welding gussets onto the mounts and inner Cs, and resume beating on it.

Anyone got one or am I hitting the junkyard with a sawzall tomorrow/thursday morning?

EDIT: Ross - is that the one missing pieces or did another one find its way to you?
