[@paulshamblin6260]

Great video. Thx for posting. Seeing this before getting into a job is a big help.

[@573customs6]

No problem. Glad i could help

Im thinking of swaping a 6 lug rear end, or axles on a 2wd s10 blazer, would they fit as long as its a 10 bolt?

[@573customs6]

I dont see any reason why they wont. I have personally never done the swap on an s10 though

[@davemcclain7083]

What drums did you use? I’m trying to use the K10 6 lug drums but the lock up against the backing plate.

[@573customs6]

I used the drums that came with my donor differential. I think there are some drums on the squarebody that are wider.

[@fastmoneywillinghan8424]

What did you get the 6 lug axles out of

[@573customs6]

Both of these differentials are from squarbody chevy pickups. Just pulled axles out of one and put in the other.

i am in the same situation, but i have a 93. i have found a rear end from a 96 2x4 342, and mine is a 4x4 342, can i swap the rear end and use the 6 lug axles

[@573customs6]

I have never done this swap on the 90s models but the best way to fid out is pull 1 axle from each rear end and compare the two. That will give you your answer. Sorry i couldnt help more.
