General rear end questions

[Jthomas]

Will the brakes fit on a 15x14rim?

Anyone got one for sale?

[marshall]

Do they make a 6 lug 14bolt Ff?

semi floater, 90's 2wd 3/4 tons

I know what they look like.

That's not what I'm getting at. Ill be at a junk yard, how can I tell the difference so I don't get the wrong/right thing

What year truck do I pull the axles from

if you know what they look like then why are you asking how to tell whats ff and sf you should know if you know what they look like...

YOU NEED TO USE GOOGLE!

That was What I was thinking

If you want a good set of axles go to a military action, or find an old military truck, 80's style Chevy pickup  specifically a m1028, Dana 60 front 14 bolt ff rear they came stock with 456 gears, Detroit locker in the rear and Detroit tru-trak up front, you may pay a lil extra for a set but having the Detroit lockers already in them saves you a ton of money in the long run

kind of hard to research on a phone, isnt this what this site is for?

[Jthomas]

read back I told you haw to tell if its a ff as for gears you will have to pull the cover and check them and a 80s 14 ff should fit if its out of a 4x4

[betterbeaters]

wich ones had 488s?

ones that were ordered with them. lol most have 4.10s from my findings

[Jthomas]

ok thanks.

you guys know what complete drum brakes cost for them?
and will they fit with a 15" rim

[betterbeaters]

never had a issue with 15" rims on the rear but front will have to have the right offset?  and call a parts store of prices on parts like brakes

brand new Drums for a 14 bolt FULL FLOAT are expensive, close to 100.00 each brand new from autozone, they are a massive drum assembly.

It's cheaper and better performance to rip all the drum stuff off scrap it and do a disc brake conversion

I was thinking of doing that later. I just need a rear end. ASAP. I don't want to eat up any time doin anything extra. I was Gunna take my time and find a good one, change the flui and brakes, put it in the truck. And take it to school. I'm cutting it so short on time as it is.     I really want rear disk. Idk how much It will cost, but it will be worth it, then I can grind my calipers as needed to clear the rim.

Why not just run the 10 bolts for now and take it easy on them until you can do the complete swap, it will be a lot less headache when you can take your time, do it right and have it just the way you want it
