Topic: im looking for a price value on sum parts...and i have a suspention "?"

[toyotamobing]

i was woundering roughly how much would a complete 1985 running gear and suspention be worth? im talking front and rear axles, driveshafts, transmission, t-case, *no engine*, springs, shacles, the works!

my other question is...is it possible to take the suspention and running gear off and 85 4x4 and put it on a 79 2x4?

[Rockdiver]

Price Depends on condition of parts milage Lockers & Gears.  is it all stock ? and with some work like a sas kit from marlin the 85 stuff would be good to put under a 79 Just be ready for lots of work ,welding and figuring things out.  IMO

[79coyotefrg]

or just put the 79 body on the 85 frame and call it done

[skittles]

hey thats my idea hehe.

     -trent

[toyotamobing [OP]]

yea that would be easier although the 79 is a dolphin camper replica. an as for the price of the drive train its all stock with about 120,000 miles on it. auto locking hubs

You DO NOT want auto locking hubs, stick with manual.

I didnt know the Solid Axel's had auto hubs?  Whatever, you dont want them, go with manual.

i know but im just asking for a price quote on the complete running gear. and the possability oy puting an 85 running gear on a 79 camper/pick-up

[toyotamobing [OP]]

.......?

[whiteman]

If they have 120,000 miles on them I would say maybe 600-800. 

[toyotamobing [OP]]

for the entire running gear and everything?

[whiteman]

Maybe $1000 but you had better inspect everything.
 Pull the thirds out and check the gears for any uneven wear or markings, shavings in the oil, etc... inspect the trany and t-case.  Springs, Driveshafts, Shackles, steering, brakes are a dime a dozen, at least here in WA they are.

so  your going to make it a 4x4 camper    if it has the dual rear axle you'll want to keep that,  um wait no  you need to get rid of it ,  yea,  um   you should send it to me

[eightyfive]

man, it'll cost you as much as a used 85 truck or 4runner (i'd only pay 1100 at most)...unless all parts are rebuilt and are in immaculate shape..(i'd say around 1500)

[kneedownnate]

$500-600 max.  Axles are worth about $300 or so, tranny about $200, and none of the other stuff is worth too much really
