Hi again. I seem to have found one through the Phoenix link but not at that company in particular. I got passed from one to the next till I finally found a guy, Dave, with a rear axle off of a 1990 Toyota, a one-ton dualie. It's got the brake line, needs new rubber pads, apparently, and also has no wheels, no sway bar. Total price with shipping to Georgia: $650-700. Does that sound expensive, considering I am going to have to get all that other stuff to make it work? Now that I know more what to look for, I could try again locally. Just thought I would get some input on the one I found today. I also thought I'd attach some photos of my current axle set-up, just in case you guys have any additional input after seeing these pics or if your input changes after seeing them. I'm really a novice, so I appreciate your help. Thank you again. MG

Thank you, guys! Both tips should be very helpful, especially if I can get that one in Phoenix! Oh my God, if I can put this to rest this week, I will be so relieved. Thank you again. I'll let you all know, if I get it.

Hi, guys. Just bought a 1977 Keystone camper on a Toyota chassis. It has the dual wheels and 5-lug axle and I am about to drive 12,000 miles in it, so I am pretty positive I need to convert the rear axle. I have been trying to find a donor truck and it's been hard. I am not sure I am asking the salvage yards the right question, though. As soon as I say what vehicle I have, they want to find an axle for that year. I have tried to explain what I need and I don't think it's working. That's probably because I do not know exactly what I need, either. So, does anyone have a tip on what exactly to tell the salvage yard to look for? Is there a year range on the donor vehicle? And did anyone ever figure out how to get in touch with Chuck Nan of the cheap conversion kit? Any tips at all would be helpful. I am also unclear on what I need beyond the better axle in order to make the conversion. It's a four-speed, 22r engine. Thanks! M.G.
