Re: Comprehensive Axle Swap list

The thing you gotta watch out for with the cucv 1 ton axles is that you can have anywhere from 4:11 to 4:56 to 4:88, depending on what your goals for the build are. If you are lucky and can snag a set with front and rear posi’s you are doing real good. It’s pretty hard to beat that front dana 60.

Another sometimes cheaper option is to look for a beat up K30 and buy the truck whole for the axles and transmission/NP205. That’ll get you the 14 bolt and Dana 60 with either a SM465 or th400 with a 205 behind it. 85+ is the bees knees with the stronger round pattern 205.

At the end of the day unfortunately, all these badass K30 parts are getting a lot harder to find as time goes on. I don’t see a ton of it any more like I did 10-15 years ago.
