I found a 2500 Truck with 6 bolt hubs. would the front diff work in my truck? It has the factory RPO code in the glovebox GT5 which is 4.10 gears which I would much prefer to my 3.73.. also no G80 code so It should be good for a lockright... also they guy only wants 650 for the whole truck. its an 89.

here is the add

also are the 99-04 axles a drop in, aside from the breaks mabye?

2500's with 6-lug have the same front diff as the 1500s. No idea on compatibility with the NBS parts, but they're brakes, not breaks.

Yes the front diff will be the same. No idea about the newer axles.

Front diff is the same...and the truck should have a 14 b SF so if thats the case there wouldnt really be any reason to run an NBS rear axle. But if you wanted to..you may need to weld on new axle perches to match the spring width of your truck. Other then that it may need a different ujoint set up and redoing the brake plumbing for the disk brakes.

Thanks Guys i've got a few trucks/rears to look at this weekend, as long as the one with 4.10's is in good shape i'll probably pick it up. are the front diffs on these trucks bad to change?

if you are just swapping a whole 8.25 for another whole unit then no its a direct swap just removing bolts and possibly swapping actuators, if you want to swap gears themselves then yes that is a pain and should be left to someone who knows how to setup gears.
