Following, mainly because I’m about to get a donor rear end to convert it to Posi and Disc Brakes.

Envy the brakes, but not enough to do it. lol And the donors around here are parked out by the barn, (gonna fix it up someday)

Had worn axles on my 71 K10 suburban.
I had installed cheater bearings.
When wreaking a 70 C10 suburban Axels were exactly the same.

It changed mid production year in 1970. I had a very early model 70 that had the narrower rear, while my other 2 had the wider ones. When looking for parts I check since the later model 70 is the only ones with 6 lug in th wider width. Now I have a couple spare axles.
