Just bought 96 S10 4dr. Looking for oil pan skid plate fasteners that hang from the upper control arms. I have limited salvage yard options . Thanks for the help in advance.

 

Call the dealership and get the specs and price. Then look around for them at your local hardware stores for a better price.

 

ummmm.............you mean the ones that hang down from the lower mounts of the front diff, right?

now how would that skid plate mount to the upper control arms?

 

The independent suspension knuckle where the back of the oil pan skid plate mounts? Anybody have a picture of the bracket or bolt assembly?

sorry to render this from the dead, but who ever decided to put in a bolt that is about two threads to long to be able easily get out without hitting the oil pan needs to be tortured lol (i know i know you cant really put a shorter bolt in..)
Dumb question but, do you have to take the weight off the front end to be able to take those bolts out? or is it safe to do it with the front end on the ground.

 

I took my skidplate off with the weight on the front.

 

lcm truck.com they sell it

 

oh alright, when i was at pick n pull i got 2 sets of brackets for free. one was from a first gen '90 blazer and the other set was from a 2000. if anyone needs the set that i don't use they are yours for free. just let me know.

 

lol i need a set but there for 1st gens? cuase those are the ones i need

 

yeah i imagine ill use the ones i got from the 2000 because mine is a 97 and its pretty much the same underneath. the brackets are almost the same, just the ones from the first gen are a little shorter. im pretty sure shipping for you will be less than the 35$ it costs for them new, i live in washington so just let me know :P
