tore apart the ole Govbomb 10bolt today

Adam, Oreilly auto parts has that bolt for around the same 5 to 6 bucks and you can get it without the wait. its in their "help" section. Thats where i got mine! Try em before you go thru summit, they can get alot more parts and aftermarket parts than alot of ppl think, plus their prices are competitive.

no shit? Hmm well ill have to check it out, a lot of the places around me, the people are dumber then hell. Sometimes i wish it was where you could grab your own stuff and ring it up your self. lol

Yeah I know your feeling. Thats why I hate autozone, those kids are IDIOTS!!! They dont know what the heck they are selling. I know for a fact that Oreilly personnel get training and have to stay current, even the drivers, in case they ever have to help a customer, I used to work for 'em. Goodluck!!!

Where is Oreilly at?? I like in Tampa and have never heard of them. I have heard lots of good stuff and I hate autozone!! Those guys are all idiots

Checkers/Schucks/Kragen and Oreilly are all under the same umbrella ...

In fact the local Checkers here in Kingman just changed into Oreilly, says Oreilly on the receipt but still says Checkers on the outside.

Thats how it was at my place. Previously called Murrays, but had everything saying Oreillys then a few months later the whole store got switched around and couldnt find shit. lol

sooo.. found a 14bolt locally instead of messing with the 10bolt..

but the 14s out of a trailblazer SS. 410 gears, disc brakes, but 6lug.. shit. hmmm

 

[96ProCompTahoe]

couldn't you just swap in 5 lug shafts?

 

[AtomicHoe094]

i dont know if the spline count is the same. ill have to talk to Tony the vendor, hes good at this crap lol Ill probably have to move spring perches and crap like that. but id rather weld then try and attempt to rebuild the 10bolt. Too much measurements with backlash and all kinds of crap

 

[retorq]

You can get custom axles ... Don't those (Trailblazers) have coils under the butt of them?? The 454SS has 5x5 14 bolts under them with leaf springs. Not sure of the spacing ...

Backlash and all that isn't hard, I rebuilt the rear end of my Tahoe on my back, with the truck on jackstands, in my garage with nothing more precise then a micrometer over a long weekend. (It was also snowing and I walked uphill both ways LOL)
