yea i learnt it from william s. i have to call a surplus place because they have axles goin to see how much they are.
You definitely don't want to switch to 4.10's! The 4.56 is going to be a better ratio with the OD trans...and anyway, you can buy 4.10 geared 14-bolts everywhere so it would be stupid to buy a 4.56 gear one and then spend the money to swap gears.
$500 isn't a steal, but not bad at all for a brand new 14FF with a Detroit (should be the case if it is a true military axle). Just keep in mind you will likely have to move the spring perches on that axle to bolt up under your K5.

4.56's will be fine. $500 for a new 14 bolt with 4.56's and a Detroit is a good deal. I've sold several used ones for that price in the past. D60's with 4.56's are easy to get too.
have some 4.56 gears for d44 for sale if you need to regear it
