Rgates Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 Hey everyone! I just wanted to introduce myself I’m sure I’ll be bugging a bunch of you all very soon. I just picked up a steal of a deal on a 1985 New World. I haven’t seen much info on that model but plenty on the Dolphin and Sunrader so I hope they are fairly similar. If anyone has any model specific info for this one it would be greatly appreciated, otherwise I look forward to working with everyone to get this thing polished up. -Rick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fred heath Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 Welcome to our forum. First thing to check is your rear axle. If you have duel rear wheels, each wheel should have 6 lug nuts. If you only find 5, the axle is unsafe and needs to be upgraded to the 6 lug ff axle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derek up North Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 I've seen no evidence that they were produced outside of 1985 to 1986 and the 2 layouts/models shown above. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linda s Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 They certainly sound well constructed. Makes the idea of restoring one more feasible Linda S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

linda s Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 Try this online site for auto salvage yards http://www.car-part.com/ Look for an 87 axle and also a 90's axle. They will both fit but the site shows them separately. Then call all the places you can get to. Online listings tend to be out of date so they might not have it anymore but it's a start Linda S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
