Doesn't the '79 have staggered rear shocks and the '72 have non-staggered rear shocks? How did you bolt your shocks up?

I used the axle itself, not the housing. No one would/could tell me whether or not it would work. So I tried it out and viola, I'm up and running again.moodyholler

moodyholler, is your Blazer a 4x4?

If so, that is great news as my '71 K5 needs axles and I have some later ones.

I asked around and could get no answer so I threw one in. moodyholler

This price is for a pair. I have been fighting a bent axle for a year. I have replaced both driveshafts, four wheels and tires,axle bearings and seals. Hub of axle showed no runout, however, axle was bent about six inches from hub. Didn't find it until I took it out as I was going to start replacing bearings on carrier and pinion. Just my luck. Should drive a lot better. moodyholler
