Hey guys, after loosing way too much time on the internet trying to figure out what's the part number of the trailing axles that fit on the trailing steering blocks for the 10T, I thought I'd ask for help here...

Can anyone please let me know? Is this the right part?

http://67.199.85.166/main/productdetails.php?text=6219&category=3015.10txx

I have white trailing blocks on my 10T project, is there a way I can know whether these are truly truck blocks as opposed to buggy's, as this restoration project was full of surprises, so I can purchase the proper part to complete my truck?

Here's a pic btw... almost done.



Thanks!

That's the correct axle for the trailing blocks, but the earlier 10Ts used the in-line 6217 blocks and 6218 steel axles. Those parts are discontinued, but you can still get the 6221 blocks (black) and 6220 aluminum axles. The 6221/6220 pair is probably more appropriate for your truck anyway, given its combination of later-release parts. The 6221 blocks were produced in white for a while, so they can be found if you’re particular about matching the other parts on your build.

Nice looking truck, BTW.

Real nice looking build paul! who's gear cover is that? (I'm assuming it's a repop)

Pretty sure it's a TBG gear cover

Thanks for the part # info guys - it's a TBG cover indeed (can't be beat for the price...)

this truck was a bit of a surprise build... much crappier shape than it was supposed to be in when bought, so that's a bit of a patchwork here indeed I'll post more info when done

thanks,
Paul

I believe these are the front axles for the trailing-style steering knuckles, the ones in the picture.
