Thanks for the info! sounds like the 14 may be easier to get goodies for then? I don't know what ltd's are but know what lockers are.

Ok so i will keep an eye out for ether.

Back to the other question, would i be looking for something out of a 71-72 truck only? I know perch spacing is different on the 73 and up so i don't wanna mess with welding perches. any other model trucks i can look at for a direct bolt in?

Guess one more question would be what a fair price for a rear axle would be, and a front too if i found a matching set that were different ratio.

Thanks!
