Usually you can find sets of gears around $500. I got my 60 gears from WFO. Trevor sent me the g2 gears because he said they were the cheapest he could get. I paid a little over $200 shipped

most gears are okay, just not motive, stay away from those

summit has gears for $140 a set, not sure about ford axles but most chevys are covered.

trying to figure out the front d shaft. ive got the flange and shaft from a k5 and im pretty sure the ford has smaller cap size being 1 1/16" caps and the chevy is 1 1/8". is there a conversion u joint out there or do i have to buy a new yoke? dont really want to mess up the gear set up untill i get the gears for it. also anyone have the pn for the u joint straps for the 14 b 9.5"? i need to get some and the bolts for mine, i allready got the conversion u jiont for it.

also trying to decide on some tires around 1200 give or take a little. either thinking the cooper stts or the toyo mud terrains but cant decide because the price is so close

The only place to get ujoint straps for your 14sf is GM. Parts houses will sell you a ujoint strap "kit", but they will NOT fit correctly. It's either GM or the junk yard for an original set, I hoard GM 1350 straps like they are money. The GM dealership strap p/n: 3920486, and the bolts p/n: 458300 or 14018700.

Are you sure your Blazer shaft has larger ujoint caps? From what I can deduce, the K5 Blazer shaft should be a 1310 joint at the pinion. Your D44 had two options, a 1310 and 1330. The only difference between the two is the yoke lockup, they share the cap diameter of 1.063". The 1310 is 3.219" and the 1330 is 3.622" (that's the outside to outside distance of the caps). The 1330/1310 conversion joint is Neapco p/n: 1-0134.

i may be wrong daniel i will have to measure tomorrow again. i got the bolts today for the yoke and picking the straps up tomorrow. may go fishing if i dont im going to go to work and put the u joint in the rear d shaft and install it.
