Hi Denver,
I have a 1500 swing axle gearbox in a Baja that I am looking to sell. The gearbox drove well, stayed in all gears. However it will need a new diff. Someone forgot to install a thrust washer causing the differential side gear to pop out and strip - not good. The box has the short type 1 axles, tubes and brakes refitted which will keep your wheels inside the guards.
The gearbox is $500, but it comes complete with a Baja with cheetah guards, late model tail lights, sandpiper whale tale, 15"x8" rims, tight front end. No motor or stinger.
Maybe you could part out......

I'd been keen on the Baja if you only want the box!
