What part of Texas are you from? I'm in San Antonio and have an 83 K5. Currently it has a 6" suspension with 35's. 350/400/208 and 10 bolts. 3 " body lift is going on this weekend so that I can fit a set of 35x14.5 Mickey T's. I'm looking for 3/4 or one ton running gear to swap under it so I may be picking your brain on the swap if that's OK. I'm picking up a 454 next week and that will be going to the machine shop soon. If you happen to know where there are any axles, I'm in need. I started to put in new axle bearings and seals this evening and in the process noticed that the spider gears and carrier bearings were bad. Am going to put in new bearings but the spiders will have to wait. I would rather spend the money on new running gear.

By the way, good looking Blazer.
