Does anyone need FREE, rust-free parts for their stock front axles?
- Spring top plates
- spring hangers (stock)
- bottom piece/bracket on passenger side that steering damper attaches to
- upper mounting brackets for shocks
- stock steering gear that works great. I had no issues with it at all. Truck drove straight as an arrow before the mod with no steering wander.***CLAIMED***
- front sway bar...no rust and good bushings. No end links, as they were sold with the axle.
- 1 3/8 master cylinder (stock). Works great.
- 1 1/2 master cylinder (newer one) the plastic on the reservoir is cloudy from sitting in the salvage yard, but OK otherwise. This is an extra I ended up with.
I'll be heading through NE TX, AR, TN, KY, WV, VA and PA in a couple of months. I can deliver along the way or meet you somewhere close to my travel path if you need these rust free parts for your X. Or I can ship them to you at your expense.

I might be interested in the suspension bits. I'm in the middle of securing an Excursion that has some rust. When is your trip, and how close to Cincinatti are you getting? Passing through Lexington or Lousiville? I should be able to know for sure if I need them within the next couple of weeks.

Well, my wife was on my case to clear the driveway of all the leftovers before we went on vacation for spring break, so all but the gearbox that was claimed went to recycling. You are a week too late for mine, but if you end up needing something specific that is rust free, hollar at me before May. I know where there is plenty more...
