For Sale GA - 1983 FJ40 Axles/SOA “KIT”

[mtrdud]

Vehicle Model

1. 40 Series

Ok guys, on a mission to clean out the shop of all parts and stuff I’m not using or see using in the foreseeable future. I purchased a 1983 40 from a member here which remain nameless unless he wants to get involved. The truck was a SOA rig that was running 38.5 Super Swampers. I will post a pic of the truck and some here will recognize it. I removed all of the SOA stuff to include the axles and put some other late model axles under the 40 which I still have.
FOR SALE - is what I am referring to as the SOA KIT. Both axles, springs, driveshafts, shocks (for reference) and the rest of the parts. Prior to taking this stuff the truck drove ok but under load there was some give and “bump” from forward to backwards but they turned smoothly. They may need rebuild and I have not opened them up.
I’m asking $2500 cash for it all. If I’m off base on my price then let the market here decide. I’m in GA and I have no desire to ship this but I will help anyone that I can. Rear brakes are already set up for disc brakes.
I can send more pics if anyone wants them.

On the 40 running 38.5’s

Bump. Certainly open to offers.

 

[mtrdud]

Bump. Would like this out of the shop.

 

[mtrdud]

Bump. I know somebody would like this for a SOA 40.

Is the rear housing pre or post 80?

 

[mtrdud]

They came off an 83 but I didn’t build the truck so I’m assuming they are post. Any way to verify?

 

[cruisermatt]

Some better pictures.

What’s the status of this sale? Do you still have the items?

 

[mtrdud]

Still have it and all is available.

Still have it and all is available.

I’m looking to replace the front axle on my 1965. Is the front axle with disc brakes? I’m kind of new to this, what is SOA? Any idea on the origin of the springs? Are they original? I’m in SC and could pick up. How can we communicate off this forum?

 

[mtrdud]

These will not work for what you are talking about. SOA is spring over axle. The list is long of reasons this won’t work. If you just need an early model front axle I have a whole rolling 68/69 frame with leaf springs and axles for sale on here somewhere. If you just want to change to disc brakes it can possibly be done with what I have with the 83 axles but you can’t just slap them under there.

Thanks, I’ll look for the other
