Sorry, DirtyLarry, but that's wrong. The ONLY vehicle that got 14-bolt semi-floating 5-lug axles was the 454SS. Half tons got 10 bolters, the heavy half and 3/4 tons got 14-bolt differentials but they were all either 6 or 8 lugs. That's what makes 'em worth his asking price. I've seen good ones with everything intact and in good shape go for a grand.
Head to the 454SS site with TBI questions, those guys have pretty much got it figured out and they're a helpful bunch.

70Blazer, are you sure about the clutch posi's in Roadmasters and Caprices? I need a posi for my '97 Tahoe that now has a one tire fryer, I don't really want a locker and won't waste my time installing a gov-bomb in this 10-bolt rearend.
