4x4 Straight Axle assembly

[Joe Engel]

I have an 87 V1500 4x4 truck. Does any one make complete Axle Assembly's? I'd like to find a complete Steering knuckle assemble with ball joints, bearings, and backing plate. Also I'd like to fine a passenger side Axle with U-Joint. I know you can get all the parts. I can't do that much work on the ground anymore. But I can bolt up an Assembly with all new parts in it.

Welcome to the site. I'm sure there is some company out there that could build a 10 bolt or dana 44 for you. You might find one that is complete knuckle to knuckle. I did find this...

How about another option? Is a surplus axle 15591700 from a military K10 Blazer a direct fit. Here is the description for it. I have a 87 K15 GM pickup.

Should work fine, assuming gears match.
