Got in a wreck today with my 79 jimmy. Everyone is fine but my truck took a big hit in the front passenger tire. 6"lift. My question is can I check the axle ears at the end of the tube where the knuckle mounts on too. Wheel is bent knuckle is bent tie rods too. Not much on Craigslist for parts. Guess I'm trying to figure out what I'm going to do. Got welder if I need to slice and dice
 
Found a 10 bolt out of a truck for a 100.00 but not sure if the gear ratios are the same. But if everything thing is there it should work.
 
10 Bolts are cheap enough, that i wouldn't spend much trying to fix yours.

Replace with a known good one, and move forward.

How did you F up the axle and not do frame damage though?
 
Couldn't see anything wrong with the frame do plan it being checked. Body is good doors work fine and everything lines up
 
if the gears dont match just take the gears out of the wrecked one and put them in the good one.
