chevy axles under an xj?????

[azxjman]

OK here's the deal I found what looks to be a late 80s chevy full size blazer out in the desert rolled over so I stoped to check it out it had no engine but it did have a transmission a t-case and front and rear solid axles so I was wondering are these worth taking. The rear axle looked very close in size to mine.

always worth taking! if you sell it for $10 it was worth takin!!!!

 

[DARKFLY]

to wide but i would take it any way.

Blazers are halftons, MO: not worth it...but then again, they are free....

the front axle should be a passenger side drop, so it won't work unless you change t-cases. I would still take it and sell it.

 

[azxjman]

Well I think I am going to go back out their tonight and just take everything why the hell not right... the axle is a driverside drop

 

[CW]

If its a drivers side drop, slap some lockers and gears in it and go full width. I didn't know Chevy's came with Drivers drop, Is it a d44?

 

[azxjman]

I definetly dont have the money to change out the front I guess I am hoping more that someone will want to buy off me... does anyone know what the front solid axle would be on a full size blazer.

uhmmm i didnt know any chevy's were driver drop... thought chevy and dodge were passenger and ford was driver drop...

Dave, You're right.

are you sure it's not a 78-79 bronco?

coil sprrung front, long "radius" arms w/ trackbar.

it should be a D44 front and ford 9" rear if it is a bronco.

also... are you sure you looked at it right?

 

[azxjman]

now thinking about it... It was upside down lol it was late and I was tired but neverless it is worth taking for selling or no

 

[dave]

ok if you take a sawzall and zip them out and haul em home it would take what 45 mins to get em out with a buddy's help? even if you get 300 bucks out of it ... 300 bucks is 300 bucks.... i saw rip the axles out .. hit em with a wirewheel.. buy a couple 99 cent cans of walmart paint.. paint em.. and throw em on ebay...

 

[dave]

and if you dont do it.. lemme know where it is... my bro lives in az and he's a broke bastard.. he'll go do it for 300 beans
