Where to get Spicer ball joints?

For a '81 K20, 10 bolt GM Corp. Front axle

I havent been able to find who sell Spicer ball joints on line or what ever so I can order them myself and have them shipped to my house.

Rock Auto doesnt list spicer either

I know a couple 4x4 shops that can get spicer parts. Who do there get them from?

I can get them from a shop but I want to check the priceing $$ if I order them myself without a middle man

Ive had Moog, but they wear out faster. Spicer joints are beter and will last longer

Re: Where to get Spicer ball joints?

Saturn surplus has them. They are in a GM box, but they are Spicer. Under the CUCV icon, Blazer.
The Spicer ball joints dont have a grease fitting, so if you do water crossings, they wont last as long.
I have the best luck with the heavy duty NAPA ball joints. They are gold anodized, with a blue boot, and have removable grease fittings so they dont get broken off. I grease them after 4 wheeling to force out any water.

That's what I bought, and was hoping they were good.

Nice to be able to force out the soapy water from the car wash
