Bravo.

Bye.

Because this is a great country and if he's paying for them why not? I had friends with at least that many. Of course they came from families that had more vehicles in their stable at any one time than my parents had ever owned total. hobie...good luck waiting for a CUCV-II. GM made it...

m38, could you tell me when you shipped mine? Haven't seen anything yet.

Probably on the low end then. That'd be a plus for those axles.

That's a standard GM 12 bolt. Unless the gears are something nice there's nothing terribly special about it and as you discovered the Grenade Lock isn't a plus and the strength isn't terribly much greater than a 10 bolt rear. Not even 20%. A 12 bolt is mostly bolt in, the differences can be...

GM pretty much only put it in the glovebox.

M1008's and the rest of the pickups have 8 lug Dana 60 front axles and Corporate 14FF rear axles with 4.56 gears and a Detroit Locker in the rear. 1028's have a limited slip in the front D60. 1028 duallies have Dana 70 rear axles instead of the 14FF. M1009's are half tons with 6 lug GM...

If the truck has the original axles and gears check for a build sheet in the glove box. The RPO codes will tell which ratio it has.

The 1008 axles would be substantially more expensive than the 1009 axles.

Stock backspacing is about 4.25" or so. Anything in the 4-5" range on a 17x8 should keep the wheels and tires under the fenders nicely.

He's asking if a 3/4 ton front will go in so obviously a D44 or 10 bolt. If it's a 10 bolt I'm pretty sure the brakelines will bolt right to the brakes on the axle. The D44 was different...I think...:???: Might be the reverse but I'm pretty sure it was that way. Drag link is the same. I...

Ditto, the genuine GM stuff is good. I've even seen it recommended on Ford and Dodge forums.

Do a Google/Dogpile/Yahoo imagesearch for G80 or Gov Lock. I've seen many shots of them online...although mostly broken.

True but MOST 3/4 tons got the smaller drum brakes.

They're all over Ebay.

Last year someone had a CUCV on here with a "freehand" pattern. It happens occasionally.

Oh crap, yeah, good point. The ginormous brakes these 1 tons have are larger than the 3/4 ton 14FF's... Better to just run 16's.

Well...if you buy some with about 2" of backspacing they will...better to get a normal backspacing and grind or just upgrade to 16" wheels and avoid the issue all together.

Provided they don't have some weird offset those should work fine. They're just aftermarket white wagon wheels. We thought you were talking about stock rims.
