05-07 SS/VHO 2wd trucks will bolt right in to your truck. The dsk brakes from the 10 bolt WILL bolt to the 14 bolt housing.

 

Crystal Clear!!! Confusion eradicated!!!! Thanks.

Are there other 14 bolts that will work?

 

Your welcome. Other 14 bolts will work, but modification is required. I believe OBS Z71 6 lug rear ends will work. The spring perches will have to be relocated and a spacer made to use the disk brakes. I believe AxisT6 has done a swap and a pretty good write up.

 

Thanks again. That's surprising... in that one would think that there would be more direct match-up's coming from the trucks made around the years of mine... like 99 to 02's and it's odd that the real matches were made from 05-07. A classic example of truth being stranger than fiction

The new 80e will be here late next week, then probably a week to do the install and I'll then begin the search for a new rear and hopefully get it before I break another "weak link"

Of course this means I've reached the back of the truck and have to go back to the front and start makeing more changes up there. Like a BIGGER engine with MORE BOOST and , and , and , and ad infinitum. Gotta have 1k hp/torque. It is so dammed much fun.

 

Looks good J, you'll need a turbo to break the new axle

 

Stop it Henry!! lol Maybe turbo the TBSS though....

 

lol... looks good... I have one out back but i need one up front.... Maybe one day ill tackel that project. I need to go faster first..

 

i'm a bit confused the op said the rear disc were a little tilted?... so is it a direct swap to take the drums off and put the disc on or doe's it just kinda work?.. i would'nt want nothing shady?.. also if i wanted to keep the drums off the 05-07 14 rear, would they work on a 04 down disc truck or will they only work on a 05 up?... thanks guys.

 

I have an 04 with discs. Would my calibers be a direct fit to a 14bolt from a 05-07 ss?

 

The 4 bolt flange on the rear ends are not in the same location. You have to rotate the disk brake assembly a little bit to get the 4 holes to line up on the 14 bolt. In order to maintain the drum brakes on the 14 bolt, I think you would have to get a new proportioning valve. Not sure what else though.

Yes the calipers owuld fit the same way mine did. You can see how the brake assembly is at a slight angle in the picture.
