Topic: Need Stock Front Shackles for '84

[wrenchtech]

I'm looking for some nice rust free shackles for the front of my '84. Stock Toyota stuff. Mine are probably going to have to be cut to install new springs. I live in corrosion country   -- Matt

Yeah, I think I better start spraying those bolts today so I can get them apart next week.    -- Matt

FYI I have used WD-40 (not really a penetrate but will work in a pinch), PB blaster, and mopar pendant. Mopar works the best, I guess they knew their stuff was going to rust badly, so they made a penetrator to work on all rusty cars!

OK, I caved in and bought the eye bolts from the local Toyota Dealer. Now I just need some nice clean shackles. --Matt

Looks like you're in Bakersfield. That's a good sign that your parts are not rusty like the stuff we have around here. Will you ship the shackles without delay if I send you a money order and a DHL shipping label for my account? I could let you know where the nearest drop off location for DHL is once I get your mailing address. You can email me at  freematt@idcnet.com Thanks  -- Matt

I got some real nice shackles from a guy I know, but the front "eye" bolts that I thought I was getting fell through so now I'm back to looking for those again. -- Matt

[84_yota_4wd]

got the whole setup 20 bucks takes em man

[wrenchtech [OP]]

What's included in "the whole setup" ?  I'm interested in those shocks too, but I've spent myself broke the last few weeks. I'd have to wait a couple of weeks to afford them. And I'd like to see some pictures of those Billys. -- Matt

a bit dirty but will clean up well

[wrenchtech [OP]]

I got you confused with another guy who had some shocks I am interested in. I already got some shackles from a guy over on the 4x4wire board. Maybe if they fit on the rear springs I buy yours. Gota check first. Thanks. -- Matt

[84_yota_4wd]

they wont fit on the rear but good luck with ur rig man

I have stock rear spring shackles if you are interested.
