Boots97
I'm Awesome
Hi Everyone,
I currently have a 1997 Chevrolet K1500 ECSB Z71 with the Vortec 5700. My rear axle rusted out (again) and I plan on having my shop swap it out for a heavy half (14 bolt 6 lug) rear axle. From what I've read, I need 2500 U bolts and U bolt plates (I would've replaced those anyways bc I live in MN) and a conversion U joint. I've read a bunch of threads on this and I'm not sure whether or not I need a Moog 447, Moog 448, or Moog 348. IIRC @boy&hisdogs did this conversion on his 98 and he needed the 448. I'm ASSUMING that I'll need that as well, but I'm not sure.
