Any near me. I don't get out much, but thought a junkyard trip would be fun.

On my shopping list:

Pass offset D60 rear.
D70 closed knuckle front with tracta joints.

Do I have a shot of finding these around here or no.

Forgive the newbie question. I am just starting to figure out there is more in the world than british crap :)

well, good luck. Those are rare axles anywhere, let alone our shitty Philadelphia yards. If you have time for a drive, head up to harry's u-pull-it near hazleton. It like 280 acres of U-pullit fun. Also call some of the auto recyclers that are in the city. Dont be surprised when you get no for an answer, a lot of the yards around here are tapped out, but every now and then you get lucky.


BTW, exactly where are you?

Yeah those are rare axles, you will have to look very hard to find them so don't give up. The worst part about junk yards (or at least the ones in my neck of the woods) is that they never REALLY know what they got. Just make sure you know every possible vehicle to find those axles under. Most places, if you walk in and ask for a pass offest 60 rear, they just look at you kinda funny... ;)

You can try...
Collis Truck, Northampton, Pa 610-837-7268 ( I spoke with Jake )
These are a little drive away....
Hartlaub's, Gettysburg, Pa 717-637-1996
Newcomer's trucks, Waynesboro, Pa 717-762-1532
Elwood's, Smithsburg, Md. 301-739-7159 ( They really don't know what they have, so you have to do a search mission. )

Enjoy !!!

I am in Haverford.

Where are the "crappy" yards around the area?

(PS we posted at the same time, I will call the one in northhampton)

If I drive up to the place in hazelton do you think I stand a chance of finding the 60 rear I am looking for? I could live with a "normal" 60 or 70 front but I had a plan for the tracta joints.
