Re: Axle Swaps

The front driveshaft does not need any mods as it is the same whether it's a 1/2 ton or 1 ton. The rear is a different story, nothing like a simple ujoint convernsion wouldn't solve. The 1 ton rear would not bolt in your year of truck because the spring perches are closer together on the 1 ton. The 1/2 and 3/4 ton's have the same spring perch spacing. If the 1 ton rear axle is going on a 67-72 GM truck, it would be a direct bolt on. That is a killer deal for the axles, i would scope them up if i could. Make sure you get the front spring u bolt plates.
