Hi all,
So I bought an 85 Toyota motorhome (might have been a dolphin but not sure, the shell was replaced and I don't see any markings...) and we're almost done fixing up the inside. OF COURSE, it was only after I bought it that I learned about the rear axle recall (d'oh!) So now I've got a sweet ride we'd like to take out but we're afraid to do so with the axle it currently has. Looking around local junkyards in Alaska, I found a rear axle from a 1992 (yay!) but he doesn't have the rims for it (boo!) and I'm learning that finding those 14" 6 on 7.25 dually rims is quite difficult...
Does anyone know where I can get a set of 5? I'd have to ship them here to Alaska, but I'm pretty invested already... Can my existing 14" tires be re-used? OR plan B is... I've been speaking to a local fabricator about putting in a different axle altogether.
If you were in my position what would you do and why??
Much appreciation and thanks in advance for any advice you have
