12 bolt 3/4 ton vs 14bolt 1 ton...........

[Brokeblazer79]

I am looking to upgrade my rearend to a 14 bolt 1 ton and I was wondering if you guys might be able to tell me if i could use the 12bolts axles in the 14 bolt. The 14 has and 8 lug and the 12 a 6 lug. is it feasible ???? I really don't want to have to buy new rims is the main reason......

Nope totally different style and size of shaft between the two housings.

what about 14 bolt 3/4 ton would that work ???

No. The only real way to get a 6 lug 14blt is to use adapter wheel spacers(not exactly safe) OR to use the 14blt semi floating axle out of like 88-95 light duty 3/4 ton pickups.
