Found Front axle parts wanted, making a swing out tire carrier.

[eodcoduto]

I am going to build a swing out tire carrier for my '85 Suburban. I want to use a locking hub setup for the hinge, so I need:
Axle stub
Spindle
Locking hub with all the bearings and other parts.

Not looking for any style in particular, the bigger the spindle the better for surface area on the welds. I have a lathe, mill, welder; everything but the parts.

No idea on what this stuff is worth so let me know.

Why the stub shaft?
You need the hub and spindle.
I have a few 6 lug parts that will be good for you.
I have stub shafts too but not sure where the use for it is

Probably to be able to lock the tire carrier in place (closed or open).

Curious to see how this turns out. You are just down the road from me, once i get another k5, may be interested to do something similar

I will try and gather the parts tomorrow.
I have been busy driving not getting much time at home other than sleeping

I found the spindle and hub from a 10 bolt. I still need an outer shaft, nuts, and locking hub. Sell me your junk!

I found an outer stub shaft on eBay for $25. I'd rather buy one from someone on here so let me know if you have one. I'm going to make my own locker mechanism for keeping it locked open.
