Re: 14 bolt swap questions
There will be no correct shock mounts either.
You can get 14 bolt full floating axles out of HD 3/4 ton trucks and 1 ton trucks. These are some of the best axles the General ever put under a truck. They are all 8 lug and have a huge 10.5" ring gear. The started sometime around 1977 and stopped using them in the mid late 80's. There are semi floating options for this axle as well. Most of those found their way under 3/4 ton suburbans. These 2 forms of the 14 bolt are bomb proof.
There are also smaller versions of the 14 bolt with 9.5" ring gears that are semi floaters that came under late 80's to late 90's half tons and some 3/4 tons. They are a 6 lug and can be forund in most wrecking yards for a decent price.
But just remember, like ERASER5 said. NONE of them will be a direct bolt in for the 67-72 trucks.
