Got this Dana 30 from the junkyard. Does the carrier have too much rust? Or is this acceptable.

Got it for 20$ but just want to make sure it's usable or I'll get new parts

Make sure its clean, put new seals in it and should be good to go.

Yeah I'm going to slowly work on it before putting it in. I have the LP now and want this HP. Going to truss it, sleeve it, new ball joints, new seals, and new bushings and probably regear with a locker also. It will be a few month project
