3.42 ratio in my rear diff

[Disciples Performance]

Hey guys in my 87 K5 my 10bolt that is F*cked right up cause the lady that had it shot the pinion into the diff and it broke 2 teeth off the crown and wrecked the carrier now is the 3.42 ratio common in all the 10bolts on blazers or what cause i need to find one and quick just so i can get it rolling plus im also looking at some guy that is selling a full set of 3/4 ton axles thats what i really want but im just wondering for rushing i wanna see if i can find in a wrecker and wondering if anyone knows how common they are?

Thanx
Nick

Pretty uncommon I'd say for a blazer but lot's of subs and 3/4 tons came with them so it should be easy to find

put the 3/4s in it, and you wont have to replace the rear again.

yup thats true but for the time being i just kinda need to know what kinda trucks i should look for that might have a 10 or a 12 bolt diff with 3.42 ratio

 

[beater_k20]

12 bolts with 3.42s are going to be pretty tough to find. 3.42s started becoming more common with the introduction of the 700R4 (1982) and the last 12 bolt was used in 1981.

3.42 was the ratio that came in my 87 K5. I still have the factory 3.42 ring and pinion from the front since I swapped in 4.56's. I can sell them to you very cheap if thats what you need. I would say go 3/4 ton though....
