6 Lug 9.5" 14 Bolt Swap (pics)
 

Well, I've finished up everything I need to do to make the 80E work when it gets here. Nothing left to do........so I figured now was a good time to do the 14 bolt swap as well. I picked this up at a junk yard on friday. It came out of a 1994 4x4 chevy.

It had 3.42 gears and an open diff, so I took it all apart, and scrapped the gears, diff, cover, brake lines, brakes, and shocks. It was 180 lbs. I took it to the scrap yard. I got $22 for it, and bought a 30 pack. I then powerwashed it with steam.

good start! get a good deal on it?

This is after quite a few hours with a flap wheel, cutting wheel, and wire wheel. Still more to go. Sharpshooter and I will be moving the spring perches this weekend, and installing 4.11 yukon gears with an eaton posi.

Thanks man! There were only 2 6-lug, 9.5" 14 bolts I could find in delaware. I looked at both of them and decided on this one. It was $550.

what does a 14 bolt 6 lug come in

You can find them in 88-98 4wd 1500 trucks, some 2wd vans, and 05-07 vho's and 2wd SS's.

Also the light duty 88-94'ish 3/4 ton 6 lug trucks.

Forgive the ignorance, but why does the spring perches need moved? I take it they are not in the same location as the ones on our trucks??? Also are you going to use disc brakes on the back?? I am not to keen on this swap as it has not really interested me, so be easy.. :)

The 88-98 perch to perch distance is about 2 inches narrower than the 99+

Do you plan on moving the shock mounts?
