I have an 86 k10 half ton and was going to swap out the rear end. I found a 14 bolt sf 6 lug pretty cheap out of a 94 chevy 3/4 ton I know a ff would be alot better but at least i can keep my 6 lug wheels. My question is how much am i going to have to change on the new rear end? yokes, ujoint, spring perches? or will it all bolt in for the most part. Any input would be very helpfull. THANKS

Nevermind the guy just told me it was a 2wd truck the rear end was in. That is 3 inches narrower correct?

Yea I hear ya. Kinda think spacers is just another weak link pokin stuff out that far. But going to think about after I go measure them this weekend . Having a hard time finding another one. Got a friend of a friend type deal going he works at an army depot and said he mite could hook me up with some tons. But you know how talk is. Keep an eye out for me I am in Arkansas.
