Question Front axle Q

Is a front axle from a 71 Blazer the same size, and mounting as my closed knuckle axle on my 69 K10? Will it bolt right in, or are there issues to deal with? Thanks, in advance!

Yep, it will bolt right up! The only thing you will have to deal with is the brakes. I bet the lines are different between the drums and disks.

Have you found axles yet? If not, mine are still for sale.

probably need a different master cylinder and Porportioning valve if you are doing a drum to disc swap.

GO for it.

Thanks guy's. I was aware of the brake line, and proportioning valve...just wasn't for sure it was a bolt in swap.
