14 Bolt SF Project

[94blu1500]

Well i recently aquired a 6 lug 14 bolt for the 1500 so i thought i'd start a swap thread, still got to find 2500 leaf springs, order a locker or limited slip (previous owner welded the spider gears), a new diff cover, a u-joint, and some u-bolts. i think thats all if i missed anything let me know.

Question. When you are measuring the lengths of the axle, what are you measuring to and from: i.e. what point on the axle?

the wheel mounting surface on the outside of the brake drums

what 2wd's had 14 bolts? and wouldn't the 2wd axles have 5 lugs instead of 6 or 8 lugs?
