Usually there long gone. It was there, and it was on sale.

Originally I just wanted to get the heads for cores on another engine project.

I know how that goes... The pick n pull here cant keep anything resembling a chevy in stock in enough pieces to make it worth while to even go spend the $2 entry fee to go look, sadly they have plenty of express vans nothing new enough typically to have LS engines though, 350s all day long..they usually all have 4l80s though..... Question is the 2500 express 6 lug 9.5" rear end the same width as a silverado rear end???

Nope. There longer and the drivetrain is offset to the Pass side in those.

But you can get one from a Suburban 2500 and it will bolt right in... As well as the regular 2500 and the 1500HD trucks... Those are my favorite conversions!!!

The 6 lug conversion is a little tricky If you haven't already read my thread...

It was slow at my part time job today, so i decided to change my oil and make sure all the goofy noises im hearing are just the front differential... And i found....



Left





And right
So i called napa, because of course we didnt have them in stock, and $17 and 20 minutes later....




Right





And left.....

Then i decided id go ahead and swap out my rear sway bar for the nbs 1.102 sway bar i have behind my box.... Got the sway bar end links unbolted, which i was concerned with breaking them off... And then this.....


Dont have a torch with a at the part time job....So at some point at my other job i will stay late one night and get the torch out and heat them up and then break them loose and get the broken one out....
