What 14 bolt is closest to being a bolt in?
From what I've read I will need to do spring perches, shock mounts, and probably go to 8 bolt wheels. But is there a 14 bolt with factory rotors that is close to the same width as my stock 12 bolt??
And what 60 bolts in up front??

Square body K30 axle stuff is pretty much bolt in for 1st gen K5s. Rear drums, but Diy4x4 makes a bolt on disc kit using K20 rotors and calipers on the FF14B. But you'll loose your parking brake.
The short answer for perches being in the correct place is the following: all fronts swap, 1st gens need a K30 rear, 2nd gens need a K20 rear

I hate when they do that. Had a socket extension do that didn't find it till I couldn't move in 4wd
What ever year of the first K30 (1977 *I think*) through 1991 is what you want for a first gen K5.
Where is your PCV hose running?

Into the base of the air cleaner.
No, the tee off of the front of the carburetor.

On end goes to the vacuum advance on the distributor not sure about the other. I'll have to stick my head in there tonight when I'm doing the pinion in the rear end.
No, there is a different vacuum line going to the distributor. Your PCV valve has a hose running off of it to a T, the T runs to the carburetor, and the other end runs out of the picture.

Emissions??
Ah, to your charcoal canister.
It's not on that side on the newer stuff.

New pinion bearings getting done. Got a new torque wrench coming tomorrow.
I need to do that to my Dana 60 under my 1990 Blazer.

New torque wrench worked great. Now I need to get the front end done and figure out what's leaking in the gas tank.
