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..

 

pics or it didn't happen

 

what he said

 

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?

 

lolz, you knew it was coming

 

I was gonna do it but you beat me. lol

 

Ill go out and get that proof!!!

 

Here it is...

 

dam you lucky no rust people

 

Sweet. I would run that down to get it snad blasted so I didnt have to clean it.

 

ew... I'd clean is before showing it off... (don't take that outta context people...)

lmao, seriously though man, good find


I stopped by a yard today hoping to get a motor to rebuild, but still no luck...

 

Nice find and have fun cleaning it up. It took me a while to clean mine, but it was worth the time I put into it.

 

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.

 

Here is my other project, and a pic of my dirty truck

 

Now you need some goodies to make it happne.

 

Lucky you, they want $300us for a 91 Hilux SFA down here (and that's everything though, suspension, steering, diff, drive shaft).

 

get ready for some work. nice find

 

I need me one of those

 

Don't we all
