I am leaning towards a 14 bolt...but i want yall's opinions on wut rear i should run in my truck....ground clearance is not a huge issue....im most concerned about cost and strength....and ill need to run 4.88's or 5.13 gears

Since ground clearance isnt an issue I would say 14 bolt. They are strong and cheap, just ditch those heavy drum brakes for some discs

I'll agree... I went to a 70 for the smooth bottom & availability of an ARB, but if clearance & the locker choice wasn't an issue, I'd go 14 bolt. You can't beat the price, strength, & spare part availability.

If you are just going to run 5.13's or lower than go with the 14B. If you are gonna go higher like the 5.38's then go with a D70.

has anyone ran a 14 bolt under a 79 f-250 w/ a 45 inch center pin to center pin width? i looked at a few 14's in a junkyard and it looked like that width would be awfully close to the brake backing plates

oh, are there any years to look out for?
