14 bolt axle

[mikebte]

Okey, question.
I have a 59 Chevy Apache 3100.
My parts truck to make this a project truck is a 93 GMC 2500LD.
Due to having to move across the county, I want to take what I can off the GMC so I don't have to tow and store it.
The truck has a 14 bolt 6lug axle, it's fresh cause I rebuilt it when it was a work truck and ran.
So my goal is to remove everything*possible that I can convert to fit.
I am wanting to know If the 14 bolt will fit if I move I remove it.

I know a lot more will fit and I have*a list of everything I am taking to transfer. But my big question is the 14 bolt semi float rear.

Thanks for the info guys, hope someone knows.

There are a couple different widths for the 14b SF. The 65" would be ideal. Probably won't be able to put wide meats on.

Next issue is the move across country. I just recently moved 5 miles. Moving all my tools and parts was a huge pain. After 9 mos, I'm far from organized still. My advice is, "less is more." The less you have to move, the better. I know you're invested into your 14b, but you an always find another. There are other options out there too for a rearend swap.

Thanks for the reply. I agree, moving sucks.
I know for sure I want the EFI, steering, trans, AC stuff and exhaust. All was new till the motor blew on the truck. 200+k miles

I'll have to measure for sure.

Wide tires may be an issues now that you bring that up. I got some fat tires now, I am sure they won't fit.

Thanks again

fat tires or deep rims won't work with rear axle under your truck unless you are into the seventies half the tire outside the fender look.

I have a 14 bolt 8-lug full floater in my '47 1-ton Panel.
