Ok, Bumpers are on hold until February for now. Last Wednesday I got an offer for two axles for $400. a 12B and a 10B both with 4.10s and LSDs. I went down there on Saturday and ended up coming back with FOUR axles.
1) 12Bolt
1 10 bolt to match the 12 bolt
1 spare 10 bolt
and the prize, 1 14BFF all for $400.
I am going thru them today to find out exactly what I all I have.

The 12 bolt is confirmed with a LSD but instead fo 4.10s it has 4.56s. Frankly this is not a good sign for me. I was hoping the front was in fact a 4.10 but if these are matched sets (which I assume with all the chrome) then the front odds are is 4.56 as well.

Good job on the 4 axle deal. Don't worry about the 4.56 gears - just run a bigger tire to compensate 
Are you planning using that 14bff?

No... I actually plan to offer the 14B to the first scrap yard i see
dont do that! just sell it on craigslist. someone always needs a 14B! especially if its in decent shape, decent gear ratioNo... I actually plan to offer the 14B to the first scrap yard i see

i was hoping that smiley was meant for sarcasm, but i figured itd be prudent to say something just in case

Epic fail on the front matching 10B. I was told it had a LSD but nope.

So end result for the original two axles I went there for.
Was told
10b and 12b both with LSDs and 4.10s
ended up with
10b 4.56 open diff and 12b 4.56 LSD.

if'n it were me, I'd lose the 12b...as I understand it the 10bolt has a larger/stronger bearing design therefore is more desireable...some one with better knowledge can clarify it...
I would go with the 14bsf if I could get one cheap...plenty strong without losing the couple of inches clearance a 14b ff does

Once the 33s are shot we will move to 16s and 35s or 315s

The 12bolt is now in the classifieds here and posted on craigslist. I had my choice between a SF or FF my choice so yeah I went for the FF.
I could probably go back with 200 bucks and clear him out of the other 3 10 bolts and the 14 SF
You should have this moved to "The Driveway".

There are some other builds of burbs going on here too. I wanted to stay in the burb section
4.56 gears and the OD trans should work good. I had a friend who ran 4.56 with a 700r4 and 33s and really liked it

Well and that's until I move to 35s.
Yeah, I had my Suburban build in here at one time, it just doesn't get much traffic.
