D1 empty front axle housing

[cdansan]

I am looking for an empty front axle housing shipped to 05482.
Cheaper is better for sure.
I need it for mock up of new front suspension.
Perfect is not required, but useable would be nice when I am done.
May be a shameless SG 3 link copy or a different 3 or 4 link depending on packaging room.

I've got one - shipping is a lot I'm sure - someone local or more local to you must have one.

I will hope one closer to me shows up. But a trip to Acadia in the summer might be do-able.

Strip one down like this:



And remove the radius arms too of course, and it's pretty light. I'll bet one of the usual suspects could ship one pretty cheap.

 

[cdansan]

Yes, want i would like is an empty housing.
I have enough parts to build it back up if need be.

Dan, I bet someone could bring one to Guy Fawkes and Brandon could drive it up to you

Also I have a lead on a white semi-running D1 missing a few items but apparently still moves, R380, $500 if you're interested. It is local.

Jordan Blase could probably build you a 3-link cheaper than you could ever fab one.

You just have to drive your truck to Idaho. :ack:

I thought he was in Montana? And I can't recall his work being that cheap, Dan does good work.

 

[D Chapman]

You would not need to drive to Montana to have Jordan do the work. Do you drive to ARB to buy a bumper?

He's got the jigs. Hell, he probably has one already made. At one time he had two used $G 3 link kits laying in the floor.

ARB isn't really my thing.
Jordan does nice work, no doubt. I didn't really think it would be inexpensive, though.

Business address? Dock? Forklift?

 

[cdansan]

I will look into the Jordan Blase suggestion, I did not know anyone was making a 3 link kit any more.
Realistically for the price of steel and welding wire and my wasted time over the winter, I would bet it is cheaper to fab my own.
I do have access to a business address with a dock. I dont know about the forktruck, I have never seen one in our plant. Pallet jack I know we have.

Zack, I have talked to Brandon about transporting and sent an email to that group of people looking for one.
I am interested in the parts truck too, i will send you a text or email tomorrow.
Maybe it is my old 5 speed truck?

I have one sitting on a pallet in the barn. Make it worth the effort and cover the freight and it's yours. Email me tomorrow
