need parts for cheap and help

[sonofmayhem]

I got an 85 pickup from my dad last month, and he had stripped the interior for light weight. it runs good, except for the sh**y gas mileage. In cali it was gettin 19--20 to the gallon now it seems to get about 12 in colorado springs, any suggestions would be great! I also need a brown drivers side door panel for a little, not $356$, dealer price. THANK YOU

Is it 4X4 or 2X4? Carb or fuel injection?

[sonofmayhem]

it is 4x4 efi.... and a new problem. i got the front axle bearings and axles in san diego california. i then drove to colorado springs little did i know, that the drivers side hub was locked, and wouldnt unlock or go to the free position...and yesterday we had a blizzard and i tried to use 4wheel drive and the front tires were not spinnin.. i called my dad and he told me to lift the front up and try to spin a wheel and have the other one spin the opposite.. with 4x4... it didnt spin.. help

I would take the hubs off and reassemble them. Something is obviously amiss in the driver's side hub. BTW, it is possible to assemble them so they will not engage even though the knob turns.

[sonofmayhem]

well the drivers side wont turn with a hand or any hand too....do you know where i can get a set of hubs for my 85

[reb]

You might find the problem by taking it off and checking it out before looking for a replacement. The hubs are not complicated.

[sonofmayhem]

thanks for the quick feedback! ill try out the hubs this weekend. Do you know where i can find some door panels?

[fast68]

i have a pair of 87 gray door panels,

front doors ones, normal cab


woudl they help you maybe ?
what else do you need ?



thanks

[sonofmayhem]

yeah any help with the door panels i can get. how much for the driver side door panels. And thats it now i went to a junk yard and got stuff..... By the way i got my 4 wheel drive workin and unlocked the hub, it was just jammed.
