dilbert · 05-04-2007, 08:34 PM

1969k10stepside · 05-04-2007, 08:37 PM

Well,the spring perches will need moved and one spring mount will need moved to point towards the front.On the 73+ models,one points towards the back and one towards the front.You need both to point forward

dilbert · 05-04-2007, 08:38 PM

ok then ill just sell them to my neighbor.

1969k10stepside · 05-04-2007, 08:42 PM

1/2 or 3/4 ton?
If it was 1/2 there would be no reason to think of swapping them into your Blazer anyway,same drivetrain.
If it was a 3/4 ton then the rear axle would be the only thing different really than the 1/2 ton.The only difference in the front axle is the hubs,lockouts,ect.
Can't ask what they are worth as the forum rules state,sorry

dilbert · 05-04-2007, 09:32 PM

Rush that sale along.It ain`t done till money`s in hand.You don`t want him talking around and getting "expert" opinions.
If that falls through you can use them.It`s an easy fix to move a shock mount and the perches.People do it all the time.But,$1,400 will go a long wat towards another set that bolts straight in.

Man, keep wrenchin' & working. I got started because of my Dad, and then he put away his tools. It took me a while to learn what I have, but it's well worth it...
