AMC Carrier

Hey does anyone have an AMC 20 differential carrier for a 3.08 or numerically higher gear. :fingerscrossed: I really only need a carrier. I have axels but unfortunately both my sets of axels have the 2.73 and are therefore useless. Who thought 2.73's were a good idea anyway? I'm hoping some body on here will have one collecting dust we can come to an agreement on. Thanks ya'll and by the way I got my frame body mounts welded up solid and welded most of the frame up solid the other night.
 
I'll look tomorrow...thought I had one at one time. Cross country, though... maybe someone closer will have one and save on shipping. I'll look anyways.
 
Down East Off Road in Wilson has a rack of old axles in back of their shop, mostly AMC 20's. Might be worth calling them - 252-246-9440. I know that's a healthy drive from Wilmington but probably cheaper than shipping.
 
Robert, Thank you I'll give them a call tomorrow. Mattox, the 3:54 will definately work, would you be willing to part with just the carrier or are you wanting to get rid of the whole axel?
 
Not in my garage, but it might be in the storage unit. That's gotta wait for the weekend.
 
Well, my neighbor is in a bad way financially. So, to help out, I have been giving him all the old metal projects that have been collecting way too much dust for him to break down and salvage. The alxe (and rear frame portion) was going to make a cool trailer for me (very similar to the one being done on here). However, I have 50 bajillion projects lined up before that. So...if he can pull the carrier this weekend, I will have him do it and he can scrap the axle. If he can't do it I will let you know...
 
Thanks randy, I appreciate you going thru all the trouble. Mattox if he can get it done let me know what you would want for it. I wish I could say price wasn't an option but it is unfortunately, so let me know. Thanks ya'll are great.
 
sounds good to me mattox, I'm in zip 28412 or send me yours so I can get a shipping price. Thanks!!
 
Not sure, he hasn't pulled it yet. If you are in a hurry, you may need to look elsewhere. If you can wait a little while, I am sure he will get it soon (hopefully this weekend).
 
Hey ya'll I'm back. It looks like I sourced a carrier. two actually. A friend of mine who owns a shop here in town had them on his shelf from old projects and let me take them to compare to mine. When sitting these on the bench with the ring gear flange facing up, one of them is the exact same height off the bench as the one I have so I'm guessing that this is another 2.73 ring gear carrier. The other one, the flange is higher off the bench in comparison and therefore different. So my question is (it didn't have a gear on it to check the teeth) since my 4.10 pinion is a smaller diameter it would make sense for the flange to place the ring gear closer to it right? Explaining why the flange would be higher off the bench than the 2.73 carrier. Or do I just have another crappy carrier? I would shoot a pic but my wife took the camera with her to ohio this week, so I'm SOL there.
 
Good...he finally got mine apart and it had set long enough that it rusted inside...sorry.
