Hello,

There is a disco in a junk yard near me(not sure what year). Its missing its engine but it has all the rest of its running gear(ie trans,front and rear ends & 5 nice aluminum rims).

Do any of these items fit my 71 series ?

I ask because I want to upgrade the front brakes to disk and do a few more modern mods. If the trans and the other items will fit I might as well grab them.


Thanks,
Bryan

Ya, none of that stuff you're looking at will just bolt up.

The axles will but ya got to mod the series frame for coils or the axles for springs. Aluminum wheels won't fit your series axles bot you steels should fit the dico. Depend on the motor that was in the disco the trany might work, i.e. 2.5 d w/5 speed. The diffs are pretty much a straight swap but you'll lose some low but gain some high gearing. And the "land rover" letters off the bonnet but I'm not sure where ya can put 'em on a series

....almost forgot, the cup holders that don't exist in the disco will fit your series truck just fine.:D

The diffs won't likely swap as the axles are probably 24 spline where your series axles are 10 spline.

You could transfer the inertia shoulder (seat) belts, and the radio with built-in weather band is cool too. You might be able to harvest various relays, and the bottle jack is very handy.

Seat belts! Will need to drill and bolt up but almost everything else will bolt in.

With a cutter and a welder, the entire drivetrain will fit :thumb-up:.

You could probably mount this on the inside: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/9/95/Disco_ball_1.jpg

Amcordo is starting to show his true colors. First with the leaning issue that attracts girls, then the clubbing comments, now with the Disco ball.....Is John Travolta your Idol?:)
