14 bolt full floater to a '81 k20
Anyone know if the Second design 14 bolt ('89 and up)SRW/FF will have the same axle perches and spacing as a '81 k20
Im looking for a 14 bolt ff with slide off drums (you dont have to remove hub nuts and hub to pull the brake drum) From 14 bolt bible: Quote:

Perch spacing is different, but should work once repositioned.

If it has slide off drums, that is a semi-float axle. Still strong unless you have a hard core heavy foot. And spacing is different, but relocating isn't hard

Apparently '89 and later full floaters have slide off drums too.

You could look for a dana 60 from a early GMC. Mine has slide off drums in my 1970. The spring perches would be the same.

Re: 14 bolt full floater to a '81 k20
This is wrong. It's true that the older ones had press drums, and semi floaters had slip off. But I have one from a van that is a full float and slip drums. Not sure the rhyme or reason why some got pressed and some slip. I had one from a 93 slip, and one that was in my 97 that was pressed. Not always a brake thing either...

Re: 14 bolt full floater to a '81 k20
Same here. I had both ways with drums on 14-bolt full-floaters. One was a '92 and the other was a '95. I think it was the '95 that was press-on.
