On this episode of how much rust is too much rust

Thank you for the response.

A quick search in my area shows Dana 30/4.10 avg. $550, Dana 35/4.10 avg. $800-1100. Dana 44/4.10 avg. 2k. I could probably fly out rent a uhaul and drive back east for less money and they would probably be less rust on them to.

Thought it might be easier to buy a set of 4.10 axles and go through them and clean and paint them over the winter in my basement since I can't do anything outside right now then just swap them in. Going to have to think this over again :mad:
When I build an axle from scratch for somebody, it always starts with a chemical dip and media blast. By the time I'm done it's like a completely new axle.
