Hello. I am having trouble sourcing parts for the conversion. There are hardly ever Tacos in Detroit area yards and when they are they have not been manual hubs. Part searches always result in the yard either just blowing me off or telling me they don't have all the parts, which I have trouble believing when they say they have the hubs. Who is taking the CVs and knuckles but not the hubs?
There is one conversion company (Off Road Specialties) that has a really pricy conversion but it also has you taking apart CVs so I would need to source new CV's and then chuck 2/3 of them in the bin anyways if I understand how their conversion works.
So I am getting pretty desperate. I am tearing the whole truck apart for a lift and ball joints and probably front diff work so it would be nice to do the conversion at the same time.
My understanding is 96-00 had the option on base level regular cab trucks. I am looking for the complete hub to CV assembly including knuckles and splash shields. If anyone is willing to grab these for me from a local yard to them I will pay you up front and pay for your time and then pay for whatever shipping is to Detroit.
Thanks
