Upgrade to 8 lug while keeping the stock rear in 72 K5 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

OK... I gave up on trying to upgrade the stock axles... I will run them till I break something and just look for a good upgrade in the mean time... I was thinking Late Model 2002+ 14BFF out of a Sierra/Silverado or if someone comes up with a disc upgrade with an E-brake for old school 14BFF... I will keep looking for a Dana 60 for the front. I heard you can swap the DRW hubs for SRW hubs and be good to go for the front.... I need to find out if Dodge D60 front will fit the K5....
