Front 14blt????

[jimmy'sjimmy]

Ok maybe I was dreaming but, is there such a thing as a 14blt in the front??? I could have swore I've seen it on here before, someone turned a rear into a front. Or am i just crazy?????

some one did it, a lot of trouble, a simple search would most likely turn it up.

yeah you prolly did...therewas a camaro trar on here a while back and the guys said that is had 12bolts front and rear....it was floating around for a bit.

ill see if i can get a link.

but to answer your question...yes but why? all the time/money/effort to turn a non steering axle into a steeringaxle you could build a 44or maybe a 60...

i did a couple searches but neither turned up anything or every post having to do w/ a 14blt. i dont want to do it, but i was talkin to a buddy of mine and i was drunk and so was he and well you know how that goes.....hes a bronco guy and i was just hoping i didnt put my drunken foot in my mouth.

people generally don't know what the flock they are talking about, thus that 12 bolt thing..

But yes, we have a user who was making a 14 bolt front.. it was never finished.. still needed custom axles I believe... I'm drawing a blank on the user name, maybe he'll chime in...

original, but definitely not worth the work imo..

I am not trying to be smart, but I searched for "front 14 bolt" in the garage only yielded these two results on the first page. There is a link to another 14 bolt frt post at in the last post of the first thread linked.

Any word on shafts or inner axle seals? (I understand the coarser 30-spline used on the 14b needs a larger-than-35-spline blank).
