CheapCherokee

so i just got back from my local junkyard and found a dana 44 in a comanche. i havent pulled it yet, but my main question is around how much is it worth? i've already sold a cherokee dana 44 for $400 but thats straight up bolt in. the comanche D44 has to be modified to work in a cherokee, so is it worth less? how much would one of you guys pay for one? or better yet does anyone on here need one that i could sell it to?

Pretty much all you have to do is swap the spring perches from under to over. They go for about $150-200 around here.

dont you also have to weld on shock mounts?
and those prices arent really the best for making money off of, so i guess if i get it it'll be for my own use.

Sorry pull a part around here sells all 1/2 ton axles for the same price. Doesn't matter if they are kinda rare or not.

dang i feel a lot better knowing i sold one for $400
i see 'em all the time on craigslist for $400, but they never sell because i always see the re-posts. i must've gotten real lucky cuz i didnt even post an ad, i just happened to stumble upon a wanted ad so i responded. the guy came out the next day and bought it full price
guess i'll be snagging this one if its still there
