Got my straight axle today
Went shopping this weekend. The last wrecking yard i checked had a 85 with the axle still on
It was to late in the day to grab it, so i went first thing this morning.
The yard had a 50% off all parts sale. Paid 65$ + 2$ entrance fee, woot 67 bucks for my axle. The guys there were way cool, i guess i got there just in time because they are crushing that truck later this week.

Awesome deal!! Congrats, '85 is the #1 for an SAS.
I was at a Portland U-Pull it at one of their half off sales and got front/rear seats $50 for my Trekker, A set of spare driveshafts for $32. Every now and than you get lucky.
I want to find an IFS rear axle, they never seem to have them..

Nice find!!!
ocdropzone you have any pictures of that Trekker? That's the one that has some fiberglass in it from the factory yes? Like a 4runner/pickup/camper thing?

I have a pressure washer, just need to let the hose thaw out. It snowed a few inches here today so that job is on hold. The truck i pulled it from had a serious oil leak, oil was everywhere, hence the messy axle.
