Front and Rear diffs on 86 K20
I am looking do do some work to the front and rear diffs and i was looking at them to try to figure out what the are. The front one had GM11 14030376 and it is a 10 bolt. The rear one has N6969 9GM 14 bolt. Does anyone know what this means on them or what they are?

Re: Front and Rear diffs on 86 K20
The front will have 28 spline inner shafts and 30 spline outer. Not too bad of a diff if left alone for light wheeling and a tire not larger than a 33. The rear, don't know those numbers. Does it have a full floating axle assy or a semi float?

Re: Front and Rear diffs on 86 K20
Looking at the diff cover i believe it is a semi floating. For the front diff i was wanting to replace the rotors, bearings, locking hubs and change the fluid. I was not going to make any mods to it. The rear diff complete break job, bearings and fluid change no mods. I was looking on line and there seams to be so many different diffs for these trucks. I am trying to figure out which ones i have to be able to order parts. The lock out hubs i have been seeing say for 19 spline. I havent seen any for a 30 spline. I am currently running 285/75/16 tire with a new 2 inch lift springs all the way around. Any help would be appreciated.

Can you take any pics? I don't know why, but I thought the Dana 44 continued in the front for K20 models.
Full floating rear will have axles held in with bolts outside the wheel.

The rear, if it a full floater will have the hubs sticking thru the rims, and a semi float will not........also the 14 bolt full float will have 6 bolts holding the pinion in the front of the diff |
