Topic: FAST HELP NEEDED 89 1-TON GMC 4x4 xcab LWB 454...has IFS too bad

[BoG-ToY]

its ifs...wahh

You didn't specify DRW or SRW.

D60 front: kingpin type and DS drop of course.
rear should be a 14 bolt (d70 is a possibility though I'd guess) 

If the rear is a 14-bolt, it should have the staked-on drums (good), the heavily ribbed housing center (good), biggest pinion support bearing, and the 9/16 studs(good) instead of 14mm.

My donor was an 89 crew cab w/ 6.2 diesel.  It had the 60/14 with the attributes above.

cept they said its IFS on the main page

If its IFS, its not an 89 1-ton

edit:  If its IFS, its not an 89 1-ton crew cab.  So maybe I should have held off on my response, since billybobf is asking about an extra cab.  Sorry for the confusion.

Alaskatoy it must have been rebadged then because 89 was the  body change for the pickups and they went to IFS  throughout.  The suburban  came in the old body style but only up to 3/4 ton.

Ive never seen  a chevy with that body style with a stock front 60.

The 1-ton (crew cabs at least) retained the older body stye thru '91 and had d60 fronts.  This MAY only be applicable to crew cabs though.

billybobf:  you may be better off asking at coloradok5

[IronClad]

i see you are correct.  i just did a search on ebay and the only ones im finding  is the crew cab model  in the older style.  im finding till 1990   might have been a mid year thing  ? *shrug*

[BoG-ToY [OP]]

its listed as extended cab....not crew cab

[79coyotefrg]

the crew cabs retained the solid axle  in the 1 tons thru fall 91,  changed to ifs for the 92 model year

[BoG-ToY [OP]]

but not the extended cab right?

[IronClad]

not that ive found

[BoG-ToY [OP]]

ok...ill wait.....Hey, four 36 inch humvee tires, beadlocks and runflats...160 plus driving to go get them cost me 100 bucks to pick them up....with a trailer behind my poor abused honda....might get extra tires while at it...

[79coyotefrg]

have you seen pictures of this truck??  it is possible it was ordered as a solid axle "work" truck

[BoG-ToY [OP]]

Havent seen the truck.....gonna try to call later.....if it is dana 60 up front....its worth the 300 for the truck right?

[IronClad]

YAH!  and if you dont buy it  i will ! lol  60 and a 14bolt for 300.. fersure 

[BoG-ToY [OP]]

what if its not a dana....just a chevy....but a one ton solid axle...still worth 300......also, let me know what you think of these tires....prolly cost me 300 for four tires beadlock rims and runflats......or 475ish for eight

[IronClad]

looks like a good deal to me

[BoG-ToY [OP]]

whats a set of chevy one ton axles worth?

[BoG-ToY [OP]]

ITS IFS 

[8D3TOY]

You could still order a cab & chassis up through 91 (reg. cab 2 door) 1 ton only, old body style Dana 60/14b, you could get 4L80E or TH400.  Extended cab only appeared in the 88+ IFS version. My dream truck (when gas prices were lower) 91 3+3 454,4L80E, killer desert tow rig.
