74 medium bearing 9 inch questions

[sykanr0ng]

What questions could I ask in an email to identify a medium bearing 9 inch, or would pictures be best?

What is a reasonable price for one?

I don't need it, just it is the easiest to bolt on Explorer rear discs.

The flange bolt pattern is a dead giveaway. Brake size is helpful too.

What is a realistic price for one?

Depends on what's all included. Axles, brakes, center section, 28 spline or 31, type of diff.

All stock, drums 3.50 open 28 spline

Nothing special, mostly looking for the housing with those ends to bolt on Explorer brakes.

You'd pay about $100 at a junkyard. The EB axles are worth a smidge more than the full size ones since they're less common and the width is liked by the hot rod guys. I wouldn't be shocked to see one on craigslist for $250.

So the one on Craigslist for $500 is overpriced, as I thought.

Definitely. You can find an actual big bearing housing for half that if you're patient.
