Hello, new member here. I can see that this board doesn't get allot of traffic, but it's worth a shot I guess...
I have a 1981 LUV 4x4 project that my teenage son is working on. He needs CV joints & locking hubs. I have noticed allot of guys have done 4wd to 2wd conversions, and I was hoping to find someone with parts on the shelf that they are tired of looking at....LOL.

I am located in Texas, near Houston.
Thanks!
Phillip

He tore into it this weekend. The hub was pretty wobbly indicating bad bearings. What we found was the nut holding the outer taper bearing, & hub onto the spindle had been welded on. I told him there wasn't much we can do at this point, and to just pack it it full of grease & put it back together.

So now we are on the hunt for a spindle of some sort (2wd or 4wd). A CV joint would be handy too, but I know parts are scarce. Im gonna try over at planet Isuzu as well. Hopefully someone has some parts laying around.

Thanks
Phillip

Hi, I know this is an old post, but were you ever to find replacement joints? And if so do you mind sharing. I have a 79 luv 4x4 and my front CV’s are shot and all I can find online is a new rubber boot, but that’s not going to fix my problem. Anyway any suggestions you have towards locating some would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
