good idea, a 14bsf is the way to go. I kind of wish the burban was a 2500...

they aren't that easy to come by out here, always have my eye out for a cheaper one (that and a quad cab OBS dually) but they are either trashed and rusted out or really overpriced.

14 Bolt SF's are REALLY hard to come by in my neck of the woods as well. Every now and then I find one, but its out of a 2wd truck or if it is from a 4wd truck, it's shot to shit. There's a local shop that sells them for 1200 a piece. I have no idea if they've been rebuilt and/or had a locker or LSD put in, but that's damn expensive. I see a bunch of FF 14 bolts though. Anyhow, 96Procomp, you'll find one someday. Nice vid post by the way, haha.
TXGMC, get that G80 outta there!

Oh, whoops, haha, sorry I misread.
That IS how it works though, things are easy to come by when you don't have the funds, and if you do have the funds, whatever you're looking for is nowhere to be found.
There's many Suburbans around here, but I don't see 2500s much either.

14 bolt rear from a 2500 Silverado/Sierra Suburban is what to look for?
From what years will they fit our trucks, mine in particular (98 yukon).
Is it a direct replacement deal, or what is needed for the swap? Do you keep the axles since they are 6 bolt?
My stock 8.5" 10 bolt is still going good

you need a 14bsf out of a mid 90s 2500 light duty or 1500HD heavy half I beleive....a 4x4 also since the 2wd has a more narrow rear. The swap is simple you need a conversion U joint and different U bolts and may need a proportioning valve for the rear brakes since the drums will be larger
