I've got a great idea.... Come down to san antonio tx and help me with my mini disc conversion and I'll give you the parts off my 73

 

[GJCruiser]

Don't know much about mini-brake conversions. Years ago I just swapped a 76 front axle under the 72. Now, I need that axle. Just goes to show-no matter what the boss says, never throw away a cruiser part.

you can fit those in a flat rate box usps costs 8 bucks need 2 so shipping from anyplace should only be 16.00 gotta be less than a couple hours of driving hope this helps

i have a complete hub to hub with diff drum axle...includes tie rod and steering arms. $150 in denver

 

[GJCruiser]

Thanks, but all I need is spindle/hub x2.

If you'd asked THREE WEEKS ago, I was in GJ with 17 drum front axles in a U-haul!!! Could 'uv made you a heck of a deal.

Oh well.

to bad there is no market for those my son and i took 12 front ends and 10 rears to the scrap yard but at 160.00 a ton at least we got something for them next is trannies and engines been storing this stuff for 20 years or more time to clean up

i have a complete axle i can get to you in 2-3 weeks for $75. i might have the parts you need seperate as well.

 

[GJCruiser]

Yup, that's me- a day late and a dollar short. Don't want/need whole axle as I am building a trailer and not wanting to ship axle. Let me know on individual parts though.

Thanks

 

[nuclearlemon]

which parts exactly are you needing? spndle, wheel bearings, bearing nuts and washers, what else ?

 

[GJCruiser]

Iggy,

The post title isn't entirely accurate. I'm trying to build a trailer by using what everyone says are throwaway parts. I'll use everything on your list plus the hubs and grease caps as there won't be locking hubs. I was going to turn the back of the spindle to accept a 3 inch axle tube.

So I really don't need/want the whole axle.

Thanks

 

[orangefj45]

i have what you need. can get the parts delivered to gj for $50 inclusive gas money for my buddy ron.
lemme know if that works for you.

 

[yotawheeler]

you know...i kept my stuff from my D/B coversion for just this kinda thing haha, to bad im currently in Finland with my parts on Vancouver island....the guy who helped me with the conversion thought i was crazy for keeping that stuff....but hey, figured i shouldnt chuck ANYTHING that can be strapped onto a cruiser

 

[orangefj45]

still need this stuff?!

 

[GJCruiser]

I do still need this stufffor a trailer build over the winter. I'll know tomorrow if I was successful in scrounging some locally. I'll let you know.

What I'm looking for is everything including from the spindle on out-bearings, hubs, etc. I will either turn these to mate to an axle tube or I'll bolt spindles directly to some kind of adapter plate that I'll then weld to tube. Are these the parts that you have?

Thanks,

 

[orangefj45]

yup, i just pulled apart 2 early front axles and kept the parts as matched sets.

Like this?

Couple more. The stock land cruiser spindles have not been modified. The spindles are bolted to the custom axle housing flanges.
