Re: 14 bolt GM right?

Yea I don't think I've ever seen a 14b SF then... All the ones I've checked out (C or K) appear to have the FF. That's kinda cool to know.

Re: 14 bolt GM right?

Lot of misinformation in this thread...

that is definitely a 14 bolt semifloater. they are definitely not stock to GM trucks until the 80's, in both 6 and 8 lug flavors.

the "informative website" you were linked to was wrong, there were no 14 bolts at all in the 60's, especially not the SF.

I don't know how people could get this confused with the Eaton, they look exactly nothing alike, besides being rear ends. The Eaton's diff cover is perfectly round and the bolts holding it on are not equally spaced. No ears on the bottom of the diff, like other corp. axles have.

EDIT: oh yeah, there were semifloating Eatons as well...

Should have guessed that the offroader website would be wrong. Thanks, as long as it's a good rearend.....

ehhh...ck5 isn't a bad site....




if you want to know how much lift you need to fit 31's.



And I know that I, as one person you don't know on the internet, may sound wrong compared to an established website...but if you do the research yourself you will find out the same thing.

They are still decent rearends...much stronger than 10 or 12 bolts.

Re: 14 bolt GM right?

Thats Definitly A 14 Bolt Semi-floater. One Small Piece Of Information That Was Not Mentioned, That Differential Was Also Offered In A 5 Lug Version. My Old 90 Ss454 Had A 5 Lug 14 Bolt Semi-floater Under It.

Re: 14 bolt GM right?

Apparently you can build a 10 1/2 inch 1-ton SF axle from a full floater. Interesting. Check below. Offroader site.
