parting out my '87

spidennis · 03-03-2006, 05:45 AM

I'm parting out my '87 .......
since the 87 motor isn't a good replacement for my '92,
and the body is pretty much gone .......
Other than the motor/transmission/axles/4x4stuff,rims,
what other stuff should I be keeping?
I'm going to sell the motor,
but check to see if I could use the rear axle in my '92.
(my '92 axle is making some noise)

was your 87 a manual or auto?

It is an auto, though don't know which one exactly, yet .....

Where are you located at may be interested in the motor if less then 189,000 miles.

if the rear axle is the d44, i'd keep that for sure. or sell it for $$

184,139.4 miles
It was still running when I got my 92.
It's located at South Padre Island, TX.
That would be a real road trip for most,
but consider it a vacation to the beach
and bring the family!

I don't know which rear end it has,
though I'm wanting to switch it out for my 92 if possible.
the 92 has got some noise going on it it ......
this seems like the simplest fix, if it fits .....
anyone know?

go take a look at it and see if which one it is. here is a chart with the pictures of the d35 vs the d44 (just ignore the bottom 3)...
