14 bolt 6-lug?

Is there such a thing? I would like to get/build one for my 74 jimmy and wonder where to start. Thanks!

Sure enough. You will find them under the 3/4 ton "light duty" 88-up. This is the 9.5" semifloater.

I would highly reccomend full float and hub upgrade.. In which case you would be checking any old junkyard for a DRW 14bolt ff (Its the one that has a removable pinion gear case thingy) and check these out..http://pirate4x4.com/forum/showthrea...4bolt+lug+hubs
Full float has some very genuine advantages..

The 14FF is probably one of the easiest, cheapest, and strongest axle upgrades you can do on the rear. However, I'd recommend going with the SRW (single rear wheel) axle as the width will be closer to the factory width of the 10 bolt on your truck. The SRW, like the DRW (dual rear wheel...dually) has the removeable pinion housing on the snout. Its not the same as a Ford 9" or Toyota 3rd member. Once the gears are set up on the 14FF, you'll wanna leave the pinion alone.
