Swaping in 14 bolt for a 10 bolt

[1987Blazer]

Hi
I'm going to be removing my 10 bolt rear axle and replacing with a 14 bolt. It looks like the spring pads are in the right place. Just wondering what I should do with the E-brake cables as they are shorter on the 14 bolt. Can I use the E-brake cables out of the 10 bolt? Any other advice on this swap would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Steve

Whether it will bolt right in or not depends on what the 14 bolt came out of. If it came out of a 1-ton, then the both perches are going to need to be moved in 1 inch. You will also have to relocate the shock mounts. If it came out of a 3/4 ton, then it will bolt right in. The e-brake cable is the wrong length, and the 10 bolt cable wont work. You have to rig a custom bracket for it to work.

After adjusting the brake cables, I got mine to hook right up.

I still have my cable unconnected after swapping axles a few months ago. Just ziptie out of the way, along the axle, until you figure out how you'll connect the lines
