julianco Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 I'm in Colorado on the front range and would love to get something locally. It is a '78 Leone I'm shopping for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffncolleen Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 Julianco, Tried to reply before, don't know why it didn't post. I just got a set for my '79 4wd wagon and it wasn't easy. Going thru rockauto or another parts house usually means it is a rebuild service and that seemed a little sketchy to me. These things are like hen's teeth and I waqsn't too keen on shipping mine off to get them back who knows when. I wound up geting a set through a transmission shop down in Baltimore. Jim Jennings was he name of the place. If you have a good tranny/driveline shop near you, they may have a good source to try. The bottom line is that a shop is going to have better parts resources than what is available to you or me. And if they are a good outfit, they won't skin you for getting the parts ordered in for you. At least that's what I found. Hope this helps and good luck!

djcommie Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 I have a pair of axles from a 78 Wagon 4WD that are still good but probably rebuild candidate cores, I have new axles and don't need them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
