WHAT DO THESE WHEELS FIT

[Old26Buick]

Found a complete rear axle with wheels for sale. Wooden wheels with B on hub cap. Tires size are 5.25-5.50  x 18 4 ply. Could these be Built parts. Guy only wants $50 or BO in Maine

Mark,

What would complete rear end with drive shaft and wheels worth?

Thanks Steve

I would ask $500 for everything.  However, it may take awhile to find someone who wants or needs these parts.

 

Note: Although the ring & pinion set is the original ratio, it would still be over $1000 to have replacement parts made.

My experience is with 1926 to 1929 parts.   If the rear end was in that date range, it would sell for around $250.00 and a little more if you part it out.   It will be a long range project. As an example, look at the posts in the buy sell forum and see how often someone asks for an axle or differential gears.    One exception is if  the ring and pinion  has a good gear ratio.
