Re: War Surplus Axles

I got a set of those from a gentleman who did work as a private contractor in Barstow ca. He got them as payment for work on forklifts on the base. Apparently he made a deal with the C.O. of the motor pool that if he got their forklifts working he could have access to all the old parts of "those junk blazers?" he wanted. Mine came with eaton lockers with new 4.10 gears. someone in the motor pool had worked on them and replaced everything, gears, diffs, seals, and even went with aftermarket axles both front and rear. I joke with my buddies that my truck is worth more in axles then the truck is itself. LOL If they are geared 3.08 i would pass but 4.10's or 4.56's i would take them. But then again they never "came" that way from the factory but they used the CUCV's for a variety of different stuff and had access to a lot of parts and plenty of time to goof off. ( i know i was at 29 palms for a bIT
