Ok Im new to this site, so if Ive missed an old post, please excuse me!
I have a 71 K20 4x4 with an HO72 1 ton rearend. My bearings are starting to go, and now fluid is spraying out of the yoke so I need to do a rebuild. I would go with a 14 bolt, but I want to keep the suspension original, and mine has the optional Detroit Locker, so for $$$ reasons, it makes sense to keep what I have. My question is:
I have seen rebuilt kits for prices that range from $400 up to $800.....does anyone know who has the best price on a high quality rebuild kit for this 3rd member???
thanks,
Blake
