97-98 Chevy 14 Bolt FF Rear Axles MD/VA

[jac6695]

1- 1997 14 bolt with 3.73 gears, 155,000 miles, good shape $150.00/OBO

1- 1998 14 bolt with 4.10 gears, around 150,000 miles, good shape $200.00/OBO

These are both from SRW 2500HD trucks with large rear brakes. Great upgrade for someone with a 14 bolt semi-floating rear.

I don't think shipping would be practical, but I make frequent trips up to Maryland, and could meet someone near here or up there.

is there any difference between the newer and older 14bff's?

 

[jac6695]

Not much I am really aware of. Different spring pad widths, strengthening around the diff housing is about all I can think of now.

 

[87 Blue Beast]

which is stronger, new or old 14bff? is the aftermarket as big, like lockers and stuff? are they available for the new ones?

brackets

if your gonna do a disc brake conversion. the brackets are different for the older and newer.

 

[jac6695]

Same lockers, same gears. Not much difference there. I don't think I would use the newer versions (I think around 90-up) for rock crawling/4 wheeling mostly because the housings have so much more material around them, especially on the bottom. Lots of grinding for maximum clearance. I suppose that is the main source of any possible increase in strength.

 

[jac6695]

Yes, disk brake brackets are different.

I do fairly often, but the 4.10 is gone (sold to guy on PBB), and I have to hang on to the 3.73 for now. Which one are you interested in? I will let you know when the 3.73 is out and available if you want.

Actually found a 3.73 14ff in king george for $250 ready to drop in. A matching 8lug D44 for $50 and $20 for a set of 16.5x8 rims with goodyear mtr's 32" size in great shape all local so I'm good. Thanks anyways.
