Question: I was offered a complete 9 1/4 sure grip 3.55 rear axle out of a LRE. I can detect no slop/clunking when I turn the wheels and there is no apparent issues with it. Can anyone give me a fair and reasonable price for it? It also comes with the top mount pads and shock mounts. Thanks

100.00 tops

IIRC LREs never were available with Sure Grips...

You had to order the sg. It was an option and not standard. $100-175

You are talking about a rear end that is 35+ years old and unless the truck has never been driven from day one you have to go by what the condition is today.

On Wednesday a friend and I pulled a 8 3/4 housing with axles, brakes & drums, but no 3rd member at the local Pick-n-Pull and it was $150.00. This was out of a '56 Belvedere that had been treated to a 383 four speed transplant back in the day

Everything we got was very useable, the 10" drums still had chamfer, the brake shoes looked new and the hardware was new, the u-bolts were not rusty and will be re-used. The housing had been converted from keyed to flanged axles and they were good with recent Timken bearings, so you know it was not OEM. So as I see it, we got several hundred dollars of value for $150.00

And since this is going into a '55 Belvedere street rod, it all bolts up.

That is the real way to determine value

IMO a 9 1/4 will never have the value that an 8 3/4 will have..

I've bought a few in the last couple of years. Going rate is $100 for a 3.55 Sure Grip.

Myself and a buddy of mine have bought a couple of 9 1/4. I don't think neither of us have spent more than $100, I think I paid $75 for the one I still have that is going in my truck to replace the 8 1/4.
