I found a complete axle out of an 85 Blazer for $450. It’s full time 4x4. My assumption is that I would just swap over my knuckles and manual hubs but what you are saying is that it might not accept my manual hubs? I really don’t like the look of the full time hubs.
I had already done a disk brake kit on my front. Which is why I was going to swap over the knuckles and hubs.
Secondly, the one I found is a 10 bolt and not a Dana 44 like I “have now”. I’m quoting because what I have now is junk. I’ll see if I can upload a pic later.
My other option is to rebuild my current front end. The parts and labor will probably be way more than the $450.
