To buy or Not to buy

[drop the hammer]

Found these on craigslist. Basically just want it for the axels and some misc. parts. Then part out the rest, engine tranny, etc. Option 1 Its listed for only $200 dollars and acording to his email its not a typo. Now it should be a 14bolt cant tell with the hubcaps if its a sf or ff. hopefully a dana44 not a 10 lug 10 bolt. Second question can I use 8 lug 10 bolt parts to convert my dana 44 front? Option 2 appears to have a full floater but costs 800, maybe I can talk him down

That red one looks like it has a dana 60 up front. From the size of the hub sticking out.

Yep, the bottom one looks like a K30, that front diff is worth 1200 on its own, forget the plow setup, and the SM465 / NP203

If the red one is indeed a 73, it's a 44 heavy duty. The hubs are roughly the same size as a 60, but not the same. GM didn't start using the 60 till 77....

I knew someone whould know the year they put the 60 in. But I have seen it where the 44 craped out on them then they upgraded to the 60 for plowing snow. Only a onsite inspection will tell.
