TX 14BFF rear axle

[Chevy350Ben]

14 bolt full float rear axle. 4.10 gears. Probably either a spool or welded diff.

Not sure what year truck this came from. Probably 80's one ton chevy.

I don't think the brakes are factory, and I'm not sure where they came from. I bought the axle as is for a K5 blazer project. Spring pads and shock mounts have been removed.

About 67" WMS to WMS.

I have not gone through it to inspect internal parts, but it does turn over so nothing it locked up inside.

Perfect to upgrade your square body Chevrolet pickup or blazer. Could be used in a jeep too.

North Houston area. Cannot deliver.

How thick is the spacer on the flange for this type of setup?

I'm kind of interested in how this is done too ..?

ORU (not ORD) used to offer this setup back in the day. They made a spacer to fit between the plate and flange. It was like 1.25" thick but I want a confirmation on that number hence the reason I'm asking.

my buddy use to make them . he went thinner spacer and f250 ttb ford front 4wd rotor for 1/2" deeper backspace set in .

by the time its done anymore just buy the super common kit brackets and do it this way . good 3/4 ton backing plates are worth way to much to be making these with them .

That's what I was wondering is if it was a bolt on or something needed modified.

I have these mounts saved from years ago and had a former member here make me some spacers at 1.25" thick but have not tried them to see if they hit or miss. This is why I'm asking for confirmation to find out the thickness. I'll try to remember to get pics of my stuff to post here.

Just for those interested in a disc brake conversion...
I checked on E Bay today and you can buy the "bracket/spacers(if required) only kit" for around $45.
Way cheaper than buying the entire kit as you can source 3/4 ton rotors and calipers at your local auto parts store.
Some use El Dorado calipers (forget the years but easy to look up on Google) with an emergency brake with varied results...some like'em, some hate'em.
One note: Personally, I NEVER buy re-manufactured brake parts, EVER.
Had too many bad experiences with, essentially, the most important piece of equipment on your vehicle.
Good luck.
