Need either free/cheap open 10 bolt carrier or cheap locker.

REAR 10-bolt.

Just bought a set of 4.88 gears off of a guy as well as his axles (with 3.73 gears in them). I'm going to try to regear the axles I bought with the gears I bought and since I didn't want (couldn't afford) his brand new Auburn that he had in the rear, I'm carrier-less unless I pull my axle from under the truck...thereby defeating the purpose of buying extra axles in the first place.

10-bolt isn't worth its weight in iron, etc. etc. need not apply here. I've got 200,000 miles on the 10-bolt that's under the truck, at least 80,000+ of which have been with 35" tires. I've done ZERO maintenance. Hard to justify fixing something that truly ain't broke, so I'm putting a 10-bolt back under there.

That said, would searching for a cheap(ish) locker set me up for failure with 35" tires on a 10-bolt? I like to think part of my success can be attributed to the open differential.

Thoughts? Parts for sale?

100 bucks, not very used (its been sitting in a 10b for a couple of years), I have not throughly inspected it but it seems to be in good condition and working well.
