^^^ Yea i think that stuff stopped in 95. The 1410 yoke is huge compared to the 7290 yoke.

Pretty sure the frames are even the same. If you are really serious about this, buy my '95 and you will get D60's as well as a complete NV4500 swap with a badass clutch and all the spare parts you could ever want

With no rust as it's a southern truck.







I'm sorry, no real input other than well-wishes on your next project.

I can attest that the frames are identical. I parked my 1/2 ton next to my 3/4 ton and checked it out, identical.

Dude if I could afford it lol

And I wanna swap because overkill that's why

I can also hear my axles starting to whine. I've seen matching 60s with 4.10 gears on Craigslist for a grand. So why not?

Also my leafs are worn the hell out.

Also I love working on my truck and actually modding it, not just buying a 2500 which is more practical haha


Ahhhh god I just remembered how much I want a manual

Do you have the HD truck? Because I've heard they're same or that there's a LD frame or a HD frame.

If there's a LD frame mine should be busted haha

A grand for a pair seems to be the norm asking price, all I can say is they better not need a single part for that price. I paid $350 for my pair and sold some of the parts off them and made most of that money back, but I have had to spend more than that to get them up to snuff. Best of luck on the diff hunt.

Well I have yet to actually inspect a set.

I've seen them go for lower.

Really want to get some with 4.10s
