1972 1/2 ton 4 wheel drive front axle housing. Bent tie rod, no axles and no steering arm. Come and get it, or it goes to the scrap yard. WES www.ClassicHeartbeat.com

**Classic Heartbeat** · 08-22-2003, 11:51 AM

This is going to the scrap heap if nobody wants it.

SLS · 08-22-2003, 09:00 PM

Don't you just HATE taking this old stuff to the scrap heap????

I'm trying to give away a '71 SWB bed (ROUGH!!) before it goes to the crusher too.

Maybe our two parts will meet up in Old Chevy Parts Heaven.

LOL, Well we can't say we didn't try.. WES www.ClassicHeartbeat.com

Does it........er did it have the knuckles?

**Classic Heartbeat** · 08-23-2003, 12:16 AM

This is the open knuckle front end and yes it does. The drums appear to be in good condition also. WES www.ClassicHeartbeat.com

If it makes you feel better Wes, I gave away a complete 70 front and rear axel set w/373 gears and threw in a 4speed/205 transfercase to the guy down the road. It was just something I didnt need around my new log home. It was bad enough that all the boxes of parts that have made the trip so far have lost the bottoms as last winter it was rather damp, unlike Chico Calif. Im now going through each box and putting all the "good stuff" in rubbermaid containers and getting ready for a big swapmeet in September here in Grants Pass. i hope I can find out what weekend it is..

**Classic Heartbeat** · 08-23-2003, 12:35 PM

Well I certainly would prefer to give this to someone who could use it, thats for sure. But no responces means that it will go out with the rest of the scrap. I also have a customer with the exact same set up that you had in good condition, thinking he is going to get some pretty good money for it. I told him good luck, everyone wants disk brakes.

K5KRAZIE · 08-23-2003, 03:29 PM

I won't be coming down to Olympia for a few weeks, oh well........

smartersite · 02-24-2004, 03:55 AM

Wes,
Is that front assembly you are being so generous to offer disk or drum? You mentioned "good drums", but I thought the '72 only came w/disk? If so, I've been looking for a front axle w/disk brakes that came off a '71 or '72 Blazer. Do you still have this? If so, do you know what it came off of? Thank you, Travis

69c10stepside · 02-24-2004, 04:02 AM

Here is some friendly advice, quit bringing up old posts!

Blue Beard · 02-24-2004, 10:03 AM

Sometimes I don't know how Wes keeps his business going.........giving away all these parts.........

But then again, it makes good business sense. People will be back to buy more...

dinnut · 02-24-2004, 09:21 PM

im sure the part is long gone by now. why did you bring up this really old thread. i mean we havent seen phillip johnson since last year.

**Classic Heartbeat** · 02-24-2004, 11:15 PM

This front end is long gone.... I am sorry to report it went to the scrap heap in the sky...

Too bad too, because I know someone could have used it.... I give away parts sometimes because they get in my way, and I get tired of looking at them. If the part isn't real nice and needs work to fix it, I generally give it to someone who will work on it and use it. I wont ship give away parts though.. Sorry... I have a stack of cowls here that just about everyone who comes down here gets offered one... LOL WES www.ClassicHeartbeat.com

teeitup · 02-24-2004, 11:46 PM

I know the feeling Wes about stuff being in the way, sometimes its just easier to give it away or haul it off for scrap. Scrap is up right now.
