@vw16vcabby"

get ahold of marlin crawlers for the transfer case. they buy alot of our cases at work.

also, look around in salvage yards for the solid axle. if you were still in pa, i could hook u up w/ one from a toyota we have at work. im sure there is some illegal mexican gardner driving around in a toy truck in cali that the motor is about to die that you could buy for donor parts.

I’ll probably use Marlin for the doubler, though there’s LOTs of options out there now. I want to use this skid-plate/double t-case xmember/t-case mounted e-brake: All-Pro Off-Road | Venture Out (scroll down about 2/3 of the way to “Triple X Member”).

As for the axles like I said I already scored a complete set of front/back '85 axles (the strongest year) w/ the factory 4.10 3rd Members. Along with that I got these:

3rd Members assembled w/ ARB Air Lockers & 5.71s. Also I got the ARB tanks and compressors and axle rebuild kits.

I scored ALL that shit for $1500 and I can sell the back axle (I’ll keep my '86 cuz it’s wider) and both 4.10 3rd Members to recover a LOT of that cost.

@foz

always liked those trucks, good luck with your build!

@burnyd

I love it.

Thanks.
