Ring the new year with snow and rocks.

P-n-p's the way to go for those. Cheap and you get bearings too if you grab the right thing. Nice thing is the hubs you want are on just about anything from '78. Except '84 (or maybe '94??), for some reason that year is always skipped on the "were used".

You'll need backing plates from a Chevy 1/2 ton (any year solid axle/open knuckle) or waggy/cherokee (grab the calipers too, atleast for cores) and spindles from a pre 76'ish Chevy (small bearing) or same waggy/cherokee you grabbed backing plates from.

What you currently running for knuckles?

Not sure, dont you have to work Saturday? I might even go tommarow, depending on how today goes.

You just need the inner hub and rotor right? No spindles or outer locking hubs?
 
Just got back from the pick-n-pull with some not so shiny new parts.

Nice Ford tranny cooler and a waasher box. The spindles look great, I think im even going to be able to use the bearings.

They also came with these little jems.

All for 114.36 :cornut:
 
Good score. Looks like you hit the p-n-p at just the right time.


My luck is always: finally make it where I can swing by the p-n-p and:

a) find exactly what I'm looking for, it comes off easy, and the price if fair.
B) don't find squat. Either no rigs with the parts I need/want or they have already been stripped.
C) rusted and trashed, or 1/2 buried in mud/water, or somebody f-d up the rig set up and there is no good way to get them off.
D) I find some cool ass parts, but no tools, nice cloths, no time...........

Quick question to all you Scout axle gurus,

will my stock scout2 spindles/disk brakes/hubs work on a Scout 800 Dana 30? Basically are the knuckles the same?

The knuckles should interchange, they share the same balljoints.

And if I am not mistaken the stub shaft is the same diameter and stick out on the 30 as the 44 (one of the reasons Scout II d44's have such wimpy stubs -- cause they are d30 sized!)

I used to 'pocket' at set of those every time I went to the tigard/sherwood u-pullit. Ever since they started charging me a 'core' charge on junk parts, I started getting them back.... :crazy: along with TBI injectors, TBI chips, ignition modules....

I pocketed a trailer brake controller out of a suburban today, felt a little bad, but those core charges are crap.

I second what chris has already said. I just put the disc brake hub and rotor from a d30 front end onto a d44 front spindle. Worked fine. :ihih:

Hold the phone. 80/800 d30's are closed knuckle, not open knuckle like Scout II d30's. So they have completely different knuckles (and kingpins, not ball joints :d)

iirc they also use a 6-stud spindles, just like sii d30's. Never compared them much more than that.

Assuming the d30 in question is an original 80/800 d30. I don't believe they ever put open knuckle fronts in the baby scouts.


That said, I *have* heard its not that hard to do a disc conversion on a closed knuckle. Similar to what your doing right now or combining parts to convert a sii d30. Iirc it was dan h that documented it once... But that's going off fuzzy memory.

Crap, your right. I was thinking about a scout2 Dana 30 not a closed knuckle 800 Dana 30. Oh well.
