Uhh, yeah. It isn't a matter of money, it is the regulations of the state.

Once a vehicle reaches the yard, it cannot be bought whole. One could buy a frame, a cab, the bed, etc but no complete vehicles once they are set in the yard for parts.

The interior is either stripped or nothing worth taking. The 360 is mostly complete, the transmission-drive shafts-axles-hubs-brakes are intact. Fenders and hood are there, small rust spots at bottom of fenders. Grille and front bumper are missing. Doors have small dents.

My truck used to be a 4 speed, I converted to the automatic a few years back. The transmission would sell here but after the fees, it would leave much profit. I don't need another 360, if I buy another LA series engine it will be a Roller cam or Magnum.

I have a 75 W-200 Power wagon, 440-727 with the full time transfer case. It has a Dana 44 up front, disc brakes and a Dana 60 out back on a single rear wheel each side. This W-150 in the yard is a short bed but is also a 4 speed with a 360. The interior is not good. It has the 5 lug, 4 1/2" bolt...

How about a picture ?

I think that you mean scraPPing, not scraping. You could save the axle and harvest the gears and differential out of it.

I have several original emblems for Dodge trucks. All will need restoration. IF you see ones that you like, send me a PM with the description and Number. # 1) Camper 9000. $20 for the pair, plus shipping. #2) Club Cab $20 for the pair plus shipping. #3) ONE Adventurer Sport. $10 plus...

Mopars and Mimosas ? Who is with me ?? Some people aren't coffee drinkers.... Others like me don't like to get up early....How about a non judged show-and-shine that starts around 11:00 with booze shacks set up for those that wish to imbibe ? This might bring in the chicks !

Are you sure it is not a "Spicer" and not a Spiker? I know that Dana and Spicer had a business partnership for awhile.

Thank you, Mark. I am pretty sure that I've seen 8 lug 9 1/4" axles in the lighter duty 3/4 tons prior to the changeover in 1994. I have no pictures or legitimate proof, I just recall seeing them when I was looking for parts for my 74 Camper 9000. That truck was a heavy duty rig. It had a dana...

Maybe the dude was posting from a phone and didn't look his post over before submitting? I make the majority of my errors when doing that. Tiny screen, tiny buttons and 59 year old eyes! When I go back and see my spelling errors, I immediately correct them.

Put a tape measure on the ring gear if you're willing to disassemble the axle!

There are references to an 8 3/8" axle in the factory service manuals. They are the same as the 8 1/4" axle but for some reason, they called them 8 3/8" in the trucks. I've still never seen one of them behind a 440.

I'm a bit curious about the rear axles used in Dodge trucks from say....1970 until the early 90s. Out here in California, I've owned several of these as well as being a junkyard crawler for years. It has been my experience that the 9 1/4" rear axle has been the most common unit used in the 1/2...
