Re: 14 bolt swap questions

Just got done with a 14B swap in my 71 K20. From what I've heard, unless you get one from a 1 ton truck, the spring perches have to be moved. The 14B I got came from a 79 K20

Here's what had to be done on mine:

-Move spring perches
-Move shock mounts
-Change to 3/16 brake line
-E brake cables too short. Still unhooked (have automatic, so no big deal)
-Change to strap-style ujoint retainers

Think that was about it. Had to replace my roasted HO52 after the spiders tried to weld themselves to the carrier!
