WTB: Mini Truck Front Axle

[Albuquerque Jim]

I bought a donor rig for my F-Toy build - 1989 4x4 22re 5-Speed Long Bed.

This build up will be slow, but I am looking for a Solid Front Axle. Please keep your eyes open.

what about a 60 axle? like the one at the u pull?

Or the one on the front of my '85 FJ60 that I'm selling off ?

Way too wide.

Way too wide.

Yep, too wide for my plans...I already have a mini width hanger welded on the frame

Way too wide.

A Dana 60 is way too wide. An FJ-60 axle would be a near-perfect match for an iFS rearend, which is 3" wider than the mini-truck solid front axle. Since it's spring under, it may be easy to match the mini-truck frame width with new perches, but I wouldn't want the bigger/heavier diff myself.

BTW, it seems like his prices were high, but Taos Auto Electric (in Taos) had a bunch of solid-axle minis for parts a few years ago, probably still does. All of them still had front axles under them.

Update: I found an axle housing for a great price locally. I still need the knuckles, etc. IIRC, FJ60 and 62 knuckles will work.

There was still a FJ62 and a FJ60 in the UPull two weeks ago. They both had the knuckles. They were missing the AISIN hubs, and maybe the backing plates.

Thanks!
