I'd bet that you'd end up paying as much for a 3.xx posi Salisbury as you would for a 2.88 open plus the rebuild and add-in parts. Barring the part-out gem where the seller doesn't know what he has. Unless you're going to try and penny-pinch the rebuild, the overall condition of the rear unit and its completeness are probably more important than what guts it happens to have.

And I concur, the 2.88 is just fine with the Richmond gearing ahead of it. I have to remember to go into 5th on highway cruise.
