the guts in the 3/4 ton and 1 ton 14 bolt axles are the same, it's just the mount locations that differ.

i run 4:10's in my trucks and run all over around here, had 38.5's and now 44's on my k20 and it roads out beautifully now I was running a 3 speed with low and a 468ci big block, but ran a 350 and 700r4 in my burb on 37's without any problems either and beleave it or not I got 12mpg + in the burb
