Met this guy last night at a little get together who had the most beautiful p/u I've seen round these parts. 86 SASed relocate rear ~1' and front ~6", tubular flatbed, lockers front and rear, 4.88s I believe, and alot more that I caint really remember (had killed half a big bottle of crown by that time). Got to talkin and I told him how I really wanted to sas and he said he had some 1/2 and 3/4 ton chev front and rears all with either arb or detroit lockers, and how you can get gears for em extremely cheap. Supposedly they bolt right up to the tcase with an adapter from advanced adapters, little modification to the leaf perches, and steering is very simple.

Aint ever heard of swappin chev axels in, or the price after its all said and done compared to findin a yoter axel and all that goes along with it... Thoughts, opinions, and/or info yall?

 

I wouldn't bother with Chevy stuff unless it's 1 ton running gear.

 

Yep Dana 60 would be the only real upgrade from the toy axles. But full width axles look way cooler.

I think the only problem you'd run into would be where the spring perches are. If it ends up sitting parialy on the pumpkin you might have an issue making a perch. But Ive never measured the 2.

I guess you might also have to do some brake upgrades to run the bigger brakes.

 

Now dont they???

 

Yeah... Definitely have to look more into.

I'm just trying to find the less expensive route for SASin the swampthing.

 

My god... Thats... Sexy!

 

i have a dana 60 ^-^
its locked, someone welded the spider gears up.

now i just need a front to match.

Swampthing, i say go for it and give er hell. i would go with the 3/4 ton axles, sure its not the BEST bestup but thats now what your lookin for here right? best setup for the money(very little).

you can leave the axles full width too and be even more chevy axle sexy

 

love those axles

And I'm wonderin how the heck I aint never seen the music video of one of my most favorite songs....

Nobody has info on that p/u do yall? That's it... Beer money is sooo goin to makin my runner look like that!

 

Holy jesus! Thats like every boys wet dream truck!

I want it... bad... f'in eh!

 

Yeah. Almost dislocated my jaw when it hit the floor...

 

oh my lord.................i want it soooooooo badly. i like mine too though.......


ya. swamp, do it it's worth every penny to put a full width 3/4 in there.

 

yall are all talkin bout that monster chevy or ford f1000000000050 in the music video right

 

Naw, I'm talkin bout this awesome beast. I want it sooooooo bad

thats nuts. though im shocked they put a toyota in a country video like that. they usually stick to the straight domestics (chevy, ford, dodge)

 

That's what I'm doing with my 89 4Runner... It's even got the same shifter as mine....

 

What of that truck was toyota...the body?

If your looking for cheap get a waggy front d44. i can find them for 100 here in colorado. only thing really stronger than a yoter axle is one ton stuff. Still you can get longs and alloy rear shafts and run with the big boys.

 

word. that yota body sure did look nice sittin on chevy axles and a chevy 350. lol. as long as it still says yota on the outside, its a yota. take that one to the bank,

COUNT IT!

 

what? come on, everyone knows that was the most sold-out yota EVER.
