The GM 14-bolt has to be one of the easiest axles there is for a guy to set up in his driveway, and a beginner's best friend since everything about it is straightforward and it all comes apart easily. About the only differential you'll be able to mess with more quickly would be one dropped out of a Ford 9-inch housing. The GM 14-bolt is readily available in every part of the country on the average for less than $200 used (unless you're into paying too much for used parts), and makes a great heavy-duty swap into any 4x4. For a Chevy and GMC guy, the 14-bolt is GM's gift to them, as the 3/4-ton pickup version can bolt directly in place of smaller 10- and 12-bolts since it has the same spring-perch width (the 1-ton 14-bolt has a narrower spring-perch width). more www.4wheeloffroad.com/techarticles/drivetrain/131_0605_gm_14_bolt_axle_rebuild_parts/index.html
