PLAN B
This build was 2 parts 1 i have a truck I made to pretty to wheel so I'm building an ugly one I can actually enjoy.
And 2. My cousin has been trying to join us for blazer bash but his truck wont be ready so we are surprising him with this one
Because you guys are a bunch of bad influences I went up and got the 456 axles. I got him down to 350. . I think the front needs a little work like the yolk has play and some things feel clunky but they are a 44 and 14 with matching 456 for only 350
Don't blame us for your poor choice of friends
Two dumb questions,
1. Does chevrolet ever change the size or style of hard brake lines on their 80s trucks?
2. If I have a t style brake line bolting to my caliper would the round ring like aftermarket brake line extension work?
I have the calipers for a 76 k20 suburban and need to get brake line extensions,
I'm looking at these:
Skyjacker (FBL28) 6"- 8" Stainless Steel Brake Line - Pair https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000E39MHU/ref=cm_sw_r_fm_apa_KYGBzb7HAHFQ3

Check your PMs
I paid $350 for the same axles a couple years ago with 456's, you got a great deal.
I'll seem stupid for asking but which adapters did you use? These seem like a good deal
I use similar adapters and -3 stainless braided line I bought through WFO. It's nice because the -3 flexible line is widely available in a variety of lengths.

So I'm thinking next weekend I may try to round up the troops and knock out this lift. I have all the parts now I just need the man power and time 
I'm free next weekend, but you're a tad too far away.
Hahaha what's wrong with a road trip ?
It would be cool to get a group of people from ck5 together one day to knock out a lightning fast build. I bet the before and after pics and performance would be crazy
Lol
Well shit.... I decided to open and service the new axles.... I opened them up and the front had no fluid and a little water and the rear had about 4 oz of fluid but it all looked wet like it had oil .
Also one of the teeth on the front ring gear is damaged, it might be usable, I took wd40 and a soft brush and cleaned up all the light surface rust... ugh.
I wonder if these are junk or if I can service them?
(I don't do axle work so I'm clueless
