hello fellow gm lovers I am a newbie to the forum but no stranger to chevy

sorry for adding to the old thread but Kevinr1970 you never posted what you had to do in order to overcome the 1/16" issue I am very interested to find out what you had to do to make it work

was it in the heavy duty drums?

did you file off the 1/16" from the axle ends?

I have an 85' c10 long box 2wd with 2.73 non posi

I was thinking of taking all my 2wd axles backing plates and drums hardware and shoes and put them on 87' 4x4 posi w 3.73's that I got for next to nothing and am just itching to wake my motor up with.

I put a 2' lift on mine plus an add a leaf so i dont think i'll have the shock problems

I could really use any insight from someone who has just gone thru this process 1st hand. I have no doubts i could figure it out with both diff's torn apart but i use my truck for work and the less down time the better

thanks in advance
