Plenty of 14bolt rears from 3/4 trucks around. If you really want the ultimate setup find an Army CUCV K-30 and get some axles. Dana 60 in front and 14bolt in rear. 4.56 gears might be a bit low but plenty of mods online.

Funny thing, I just got off the phone with a guy that has worked on these trucks a lot, and that's exactly what he recommended. Gonna start looking around for a CUCV now that I know what I want. The plan now is 14 bolt rear, dana 60 front, new 4" springs all around, and either 3.73 or 4.10s.

make sure it's a SRW (single rear wheel) setup because the dually setups are cheaper but require mods.

search for M1008
