el General 01-14-2002, 09:32 AM I have heard that 83 and up do not have the vaccum assist, also these are all 62" WM to WM right? This one's outta an 86, I want to pick one up but it's real far and the guy knows squat... THNX WillyPete 01-14-2002, 09:52 AM 83-83 are vaccuum disconnect, should be around 60-61" wide gearing is either 3.31 or 2.73 H8monday 01-14-2002, 10:17 AM The vacume disconects were 83-84 and many more gear ratios were available. The ones I find most often for the 80s Waggies are the 3.31 and 3.73 gears. But I see 4.10 occasional listed for sale as stock axles(maybe it was a factory option). el General 01-14-2002, 10:27 AM Thanx fellahs Had a local guy go check -61" D -Drop, new hubs, no vaccum as suspected, and you guys have mentioned. $300 canadian funny bucks -not to bad eh? H8monday 01-14-2002, 10:32 AM Good price, how much is that in real money, about $27 :D Out of curiousity, did he say what gears it has? I just bought an 86, from a guy in L.A. for $125, with steering linkage and suspension. WillyPete 01-14-2002, 11:50 AM ummmmm stock gears for waggies are either 3.31 or 2.73 for the 80s. only 4.10s and 3.73s i've heard of were in the 70s. 80s Jtrucks or cheros may have 4.10s... dunno. el General 01-14-2002, 12:01 PM Very true indeed . The gear ratio is 2.73 like Willypete said. I'm grabbing this one, it will look great along side the 60 one day. :smokin: H8monday $27LOL...ya, about that $300 werth about $180 so not gettin raked too bad I guess. el General 01-14-2002, 08:38 PM I just read somewhere that the 86 Waggy Front diff might have the smaller U-joints (non 297's) this true?? | |
