Anybody want to trade some work for parts?
 

I really need to swap out the front end of my truck for a newer power disk setup. This seems like a logical thing to do instead of putting a bunch of money into fixing the original setup. I have two badly worn drums up front which cost about 100 bucks each new. Can't find used. I also have a bad spindle and hub from a bearing that committed suicide and decided to take out some other parts with it. It just makes sense to me to try to upgrade to power disk.

It's a 69 3/4 ton small block truck. 8 lugs. The problem is, I just cannot scrape up any money to put into it. So, I was thinking, if someone in the Spokane WA area has a later 3/4 ton parts truck laying around with good rotors and stuff, maybe I can do some work for you in exchange for the front end out of it. I'm about ready to go to a busy intersection with a sign "Will work for truck parts!" :lol:

I will be updating a 67 3/4 ton to 1/2 ton in the future, hopefully soon. I do not know what the drums look like. I am kinda far from you too.

Well, I hadn't thought about finding some used drums. The only problem is, I would still need to replace the spindle and hub on one side. I'd rather put my efforts into converting it.

i got a pair of used front 8 lug drum off my 69 3/4 ...you need em???

also have a complere front end from a 71 new disc,,,,the whole work's
steering linkage...the complete sub frame....make a offer....5 lug there...

got 5 ralley wheels to match.....cap's and trim rings.....

Cat Fuzz, I am in the Boise area, I have a good front end from a 68 3/4 2wd power drum truck, drums, spindles ,a arms ,steering link, tie rods, and master cylinder, they worked great when removed, hows $100 for everything you pick up, veltex

This sounds like a good deal. I'll have to see about getting another truck besides my own for the long freeway drive. My dad has a little *ord *anger that would get much better gas mileage. Lemme check into it and I'll get back to ya.

Update...
 

I got a hold of the local guy with the 73 Burb. He still has it and I think all I have to do is strip it down and haul off the carcass for him and I get the front end and m/c, booster for free. YIPPY!! :phat:
