Worthless if it`s got a chevvy POSI center section in it,if it`s still has the factory Sure-Grip it might be worth something!  :smilielol: (sorry had to bust `em!)

The Dana Corporation was originally the Spicer Manufacturing Company. I have heard Dana and Spicer used interchangeably in the four wheel drive world, but I don't know if it is correct. Sometimes my W150 Ram had a Spicer 44 front axle, sometimes it had a Dana 44 front axle.

I have no idea what your rear is worth, sorry!

The rear brakes are not really worth the effort if you are thinking performance.  They have an internal parking brake mech that was troublesome.  They are also heavy.  Plus the assembly width is too wide.  It's not really worth the time or trouble when compared to modern offerings from the aftermarket.  I thought about this before and that's how I found out about the troubles involved.
