Knuckles are the same, 1/2-vs-3/4's. Now, the spindles and bearings may be different, but you can interchange those.
My '77 Blazer did NOT have flat-top while my '74 DID. I don't know about '76's.

There really is no way (other than looking) of being sure that you have flat tops or not on a truck of this vintage. Could be either.

Yeah I just called the guy, hes gonna check and than let me know. I'm offering to swap my regular knuckles on his front end too, since someone was interested in the whole thing. How much is a good price for em?38377k5 said:You have a good shot that they're flat tops. Go check 'em out

My '76 3/4 ton did not & from what I've read most didn't.

That says that '77's had flat tops and mine didn't. Just more evidence that during this period GM was throwing together whatever they had.

Yeah, they don't even list 3/4 ton axles in the list. Trucks from this period weren't thrown together, they were built with loving care and precision
