A 1 Ton 14B has the same spring pad spacing as our 67-72 Chevy trucks. In my C to K conversion, I use a 1Ton Dually 14B in place of the Eaton that was in there. It's a bolt in. Granted, I don't know about the drive shaft length, because I am having one built for this particular and peculiar truck...

I see, that clarifies that

Some of the other talk is about taking the side gears and axle shafts from a 14B and added them to an Eaton.
Thats what I'm really curious about, swapping the guts
