Re: 70 K10 to 1 ton axle swap info
If the 60 came out of a Chevy, you're good to go. If it came out of say a Dodge, it will have the right passenger side drop but perches might be in the wrong place.
As far as that 80, post up some PICS. I know the 70 is huge. The 80 must be humongous and just shy of being a Rockwell! Does it have a locker or posi of some sort?
There's a bunch of places that sell quality swap "kits" with the right diameter U bolts and heavy spring plate. ORD, Barnes, DIY4x4 and RuffStuff all make some pretty killar tank parts.
FWIW, there are perches for that 80 that will allow moving the axle forward or back 1" if you need. I got mine from Summit. They were pretty inexpensive.
