What's on your Work Bench?

This Dana 30 axle ended up in my yard somehow 16 years ago. Tie rod and drag link bent, all rod ends shot, rust inside differential area, and the "C's" look like they have been submerged in salt water for 20 years. I only wanted to remove the knuckles for spares.

Finally got off my but this afternoon and freed both knuckles. I can shitcan the rest of it at the dumpster at work.


I kept the OEM steering stabilizer mounting brackets, too. Surprisingly, only a light coat of surface rust. Will.work on removing the ball joints later on.
You don’t have any metal recycling places around you? I accumulate my steel until it is time for a trip to the yard. Usually get at least a tank of gas out of the scrap each time. My best load was around $7,000. But that was when prices were way up and I was cleaning out the remains from a construction site.

I would imagine an empty housing should net $30 - $40. Maybe more???

Not now, scrap money is low, not worth the risk of a flat tire at the scrap yard 😳
