Re: Best way to ship a rear end

On the housing, Gunk or your favorite engine cleaner/degreaser. and the local hand wand car wash in Lyle or the one close that works. Or a buddy's pressure washer.

Other than knowing for sure what splines they need I am not sure why they need the axles if you are buying new though. I'd clarify that as shipping a pair of axle shaft is almost as much weight as the empty housing.

If you don't already have a nine inch I have one out of an F150 with axles, housing and third member with bad gears but no brakes that I would trade for a pickup load of firewood. Not even a big pickup. I bought it years ago but have Bought two more since and have a car rear with all the coil spring hardware from a 60 something on it with bad gears.

We Probably won't go to Wendell to visit our son and daughter inlaw and grandson until spring or I could meet you in Goldendale and haul it over on my way.
