Spicer 23 Full Floating Rear Axle Thousands Oaks, CA $150

• CATEGORIES: Parts This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

Somebody need this?

“I have a Spicer 23 full floating rear axle. My research suggests that this was the only full floating rear axle for a CJ from the factory. I think it was only made in 1945 and 1946. While they don’t have a great reputation for being strong, they are hard to find in working condition so if you are looking for original parts or a period restoration, this may be good for you!
I removed the rear cover and the gears and shafts all look in good condition. I removed and reinstalled the shafts while removing the backing plates and they look good as well. Comes with 9″ drum brakes from a 56 CJ5 (I kept my upgraded 11’s when swapping it out).
$125 obo or we can trade for something I need…”
