anyways, if you can get a 14bolt and a matching D44 for $300 I'd do that. Unless you're a wheeling maniac you don't really need the upgraded size of the 60.
Ive been workin with a guy with axles out of a 79 suburban. He only wants 200 with rollers. Gonna go check em out tomorrow, will those axles bolt into my k5? If they are crap I will get a set from the other guy.
