Axle swap

[bvteachey]

I've been planning on swapping my stock axles for 8 lug axles. Looking for a set of axles that already have say a 410 gear or bigger. What type of vehicles make the best donors? Having coil spring buckets, and shock mounting brackets already in the right place? Im trying to make it as painless as possible. Thanks!

I think some '67-'72 Chevy C20's had a Dana 60 with spring perches.

I found a late 80 model suburban in the junkyard. Looks like its not in bad shape. Probably came on under its own power. Its also a 2500 series truck having a straight axle in the front. What kind of axles do you think these are? And how hard would they be to swap?

I think they are GM 10 bolt, don't think the 2500's had Dana axles in the late '80's.
