Re: WTB - ASAP - Good 3/4T 4WD spindles, 71-72
The problem with the old spindles is that a PO has beat the cr@p out of them with a hammer to get them off, and they're all pitted and beat where the bearings ride on the spindles. The threads are messed up too, but if that was the only problem it'd be back on the road by now.
I don't have the BOM off the axle right off hand, but someone familiar with these should be able to identify what we have. The spindles have a regular seal in the back of them by the torrington bearings, as opposed to the later ones that have the rubber "butterfly" seal between the stub shaft and the spindle. They also have the large inner bearing and small outer bearing, which I believe is unique to the 3/4 tons of this vintage.
