1978/79 style high pinion 60, 4.10s open, all new kingpin stuff, crossover arm and draglink, Blackbirds 3/4 ton brake brackets, brand new rotors, u-joints, calipers/pins and higher end pads. Single wheel not dually. Has 78/79 style lockouts that work great, color has faded tho.

Axle was completely disassembled, some parts blasted others wire wheeled, but everything was painted with POR-15 then painted black. Knuckles and some other parts painted hammertone for a different look. Still has the 1 ton rotors, get calipers and pads and run as is.

Axle is pretty much ready to go. Wheel bearings and kingpins will need grease, put a lite coat when assembling. I can ship...pics in my sig....REALLY want to sell it!!!

Forgot I had a set of Ford shock towers and the plates that go on top of the springs.

It's not really bolt in, but it's for newer driver side GM trucks, it's the one width they need to make it work.:D
It's true if it was on the west coast it would have sold a long time ago.
I know prices went down a bit but they were selling quick anywhere between $1200 and $1500
 
you got some balls new guy ION :whistle: acting like this . unless your just kidding.

it will bolt in to a gm solid axle and work if you run a ford or 88-up ifs tcase with drivers drop. as thay use the same spring pad width as our trucks.

also as said used for 88-up solid axle swap kits so you dont have to swap out to a pass side tcase.

reason some guys run them in 73-87 is high pinion housing or got a smokin deal on a doubler kit with ford case.
 
Forgot what a PITA it was if the membership expired.

No, I'm not a ****!n tool, I know what axle is what drop. Saying that the axle is a bolt in is a little misleading, just saying that these axles will physically bolt in to GM trucks. Any idiot should know that you need to swap the t-case over to driver drop. Everything else should work, breaks, steering, etc.

If your doing an SAS on an IFS truck, this is a nice axle to have. Won't have to change the t-case, springs are narrow so if running big tires they won't hit on full lock.
 
I like the new kid beat down going on here :D. I read the ad and understood what it meant. If you are new and don't understand, search or ask questions about it but show a little respect in the process. :waytogo:
