rear axel questions

I have two rear ends one is from an 89 it has 3:42 gears the other is from a 92 and it has 3:23 gears. My questions are: are they interchangeable? and I also have a gov posi unit from a 93 - I know the 93 and the 92 are the same but can I use the 3:42 gears in the 92 with the posi unit?

need some advice here.

Now remember I live in New Hampshire and we have snow and ice and rain and all that crappy weather. Oh and I...

Re: I screwed up but maybe its still possible

The problem is this: the only way I will see the owner/seller is if it does not rain on Sunday. If it rains the cruise in is canceled, Even if we do the cruise the seller may not even show up. So basically I want it and can afford it but I have to catch up with the seller somehow.

just an idea?

I was just curious about the idea of removing the rectangular head lights and replacing them with old style round head lights. just to change the looks of the front end even more then I have so far. I believe I can just modify the bezels and replace the metal basket that the head light sits in with ...

Re: Upgrading the subframe?

Not sure if this helps but I used to build 4x4's K5 blazers to be exact. because of this I had some 4x4 type parts lying around. So when I switched front frames from the 92 safari GT into a 89 cargo (safari) van I found a set of poly body bushings left over from a K5 project and to my surprise they ...
