Was the rear axle a drum or disk I've found 2002 gas 14 bolt 4:10 gear axle to swap it uses the dual piston calipers and a emergency brake. Unlike the disk brake conversions for the obs axles, you need a hybrid u joint or a couple washers. lol I prefer the hybrid u joint.

On the truck I posted, or someone else's reply?

On Tim's truck it was drum, all parts were sourced from donor GMT400's. Most of them came from the '96 C3500 that I pulled the engine, trans, harness, etc. from to convert my '94 3500HD from former-diesel to Vortec 7.4.

OK, that's cool and right on with the big block all my obs are 454 vortecs 2 have nearly 300,000 miles on them and fire right up whenever I need them.
I was curious what Boosted98chevy used for a rear axle also? The old dually drum rear axles have to make it truck to narrow everything to fit under a regular sport side bed.
