Just bought a 98 sbc w/t that was SAS with gm Dana 44 passenger front with 14 bolt semi float rear, sitting in 38 super swampers. If I build the axles can I stick with 38s or should I go down in size till I can afford the D60 swap?

I'm doing the same swap on a 1992 2 door Blazer. Just picked up a high pinion ford dana 44 and already have a couple of 14 bolt semi floats hanging around. I plan in 4.56 gears and can go 6 or 8 lug. Im thinking on going with 35's or 37's.

Great build. I do have a question on this build because I am doing the same thing to a 1993 k3500 truck. I am using a 01 Ford F-250 super duty axle. So the question I have is this. What steering linkage sis he use and what pitman arm did he use? I have all the ford tie-rod and linkage. Mainly I want to know is what pitman arm did he use on the steering box? Thank in advance for the help. 👍😎

Spline count on the inners for one and I think the dana 44 housing is stronger. You will break with 37’s once you start getting after it.
