I got this with some parts. It looks like a Sure Grip of some sort, and in less than bolt in condition. Can it be rebuilt?
What is this?

At 1st glance...Auburn limited slip
Blow it out with brake cleaner and compressed air, change the bearings and toss a ring gear on it. You never know unless you try it.

If that's what it is, is that good or bad?

Open it up to see if the cone has bottomed out.

I know I'm right....
cones were less harsh on the street.
How do I do that?
As said above, take it apart, but, help me out here, which part had the "left hand" bolts, the "ring" or the "housing halves" ?
The unit does not have clutches. It has two threaded cones that lock into the inner case sides and that causes both axles to lock together, but still allows enough slippage to go around a turn. They are pretty good when in good condition. They are not rebuildable "by the book" but I have reworked hundreds through the years to make them work like new again. I just got through with one for a member here and he is sending me another.

You charge a flat fee for that, or are you stabbin' a time clock?
It appears as if the cross shaft has spun in the case halves, If so it needs more than the cones cut down.

Rusty did mine. He did a great job.

Good eye there Roy. I never noticed that till you pointed it out
It's a flat fee that includes return shipping, machining the cones, cleaning the unit and installing shims to bring the spring bias back up to par.
I thought it looked kinda funny, too.
If it can be fixed, will this work in ANY 8 3/4 center section with any gear?
Yup.

I took her apart, but have no idea what Iooking at, for.
And the last...

Just thought I'd mention that machining the cones down does work almost all the time but I ran into one unit that was wore so bad the cones and housing was scored terrible. Also seen the spider gear shaft lock onto the spider gears and spin and tear up the case so you can't always refurb them, just most of them. BTW your cones look good. Plenty there to machine. Still not sure on the spiders/shaft. Can't really tell enough from the pics on my end
What other pics would you need, want? You guys are helping me with this, so I want to give you all the info-pics that you want.
