88-98 14bolt sf question

[1982blazer]

I want to go ahead and locate a 6 lug 14 bolt sf for my 97 k1500, so if/ when i grenade the 10 bolt if will have it ready to swap in. My question is, are all 88-98 14 bolt sf the same width? I read on another forum that the 2wd 14sf were 3" shorter than the 4x4 one's, is this true? Because it is a lot easier for me to find a 2wd light duty 6 lug 2500 88-98 in the junk yard and i can get 14bolt sf pretty cheap out of one of those.

thanks

A few years ago I put a 2wd 6 lug 14sf in my 96' Z-71, everything was the exact same as the 10b.

Thanks for the info.I was thinking there is no way the 2wd 14b sf is shorter than the 4wd, but i just wanted to be sure. Has any body else swapped in a 14 bolt sf in there 88-98 4x4?

Just FYI the 8 lug versions are shorter....

second that, got one in the backyard.

everything I've read and heard came to the conclusion that 2wd SF 6 lug is the same length.

how rare are those things anyways?

It is the same length as the 10 bolt, or the 8 lug 14b?

I see them from time to time in the junk yard

ah sorry. same length as the 10 bolt. might want to measure when you find one just to be safe though.

in the s10 world, 4wd axles are 4" wider than 2wd axles. it has something do with the large BS of factory 4x4 rims.
