Nolan,
Thanks for the come-back.
I went out to the bone yard that had the flat bed,
and they were all locked up and heaped high with
snow. Looks like a Spring project, but I will go
early in case they do "Spring cleaning" and send
that machine to the crusher before I can score
that rear end and spring assembly.
I've bought parts from a couple of Bone yards in
my area and I've found all the stuff to be real
cheap, if you pull the part yourself. In this
case I'm going to try to get the man to torch it
off for me at the spring/body mounts.
I already pulled some stuff off this flat bed this
summer. (Jack, handle, and some dash parts). I hope
it's still there.
I think it was Benton who asked about costs. IMHO
I don't believe a bone yard rear end and spring
assembly would cost much over a $150 + - $50,
as there is little demand for 80s Toyota truck
parts. Most have long ago rusted away up here.
And speaking of rusted away, JC Whitney has
front fenders for our Toyotas - super cheap.
$24 - $29 ea. I bought a pair this fall on
sale at $24. I put the left one on, and stored
the right one for future use. They seem to be
the same gauge metal as stock.
