Mike B was here yesterday and mentioned that the guys at one of our area big truck scrap yards was saying that they've been selling most all 2-speed axles that come in (For the larger trucks, I think Mike said -- hopefully he can fill us in).

Apparently they're all going to South and Central America where a lot of older trucks with 2-speeds are still in service and the parts for them are hard enough to find that buyers are scouring N. American junk yards for them.

I found this an interesting bit of info and a bit cautionary. If true, we all might want to make sure our own parts stashes are well stocked.

Anyone else know anything of this? Mike B -- Anything to add to this?
