[blackk5350]

ive searched my arse off on 14 bolt swap parts and all i found was that kit that had new spring perches and a diff cover pinion guard etc. but i dont want all that stuff. I just need a full list of everything i will need to swap 14 bolt and 10 bolt 3/4 axles on my 87 k5 with 6" lift and blocks in the back. like u joints u bolts, brake lines? etc. if someone could please help me i would greatly appreciate it. ive been away from my truck for about 6 months (college) and i kinda forgot what everything looks like haha.
so far im rebuilding the axles and sandblasting them new calipers and so on.
also im keeping the drum brakes on for a while.

anyways a full list would be awesome since im bringing in some money now and tax money is coming soon. thanks guys

The front will be plug and play. I would suggest new nuts and lock washers. Everything should just switch over.

The rear you will need new long u bolts since, you are running blocks. You will need the spring plates, nuts and washers too. A conversion u-joint to match the driveshaft to the new rearend. Also depending on the year of the 14 bolt, you may need to switch over the parking brake cables. You can adapt your cables to the older backing plates if you need to.

This is all based on that the truck is already lifted. if it isn't then you need brake lines, steering parts, and probably a lot of other parts.

You can buy all of the mounting hardware (U-bolts and top plates) from www.Ruffstuffspecialties.com You don't have to buy his "swap kit" that gives pieces you don't need. His spring plates are 39.50 a pair for the 14ff and the u-bolts are 12.50 each.

Yes. They do not have the correct straps for the joint. You have to go to a dealer for those. There is a write up on pirate about the 14 bolt.
