Thanks Grant, I did not have resources handy to check gear ratio for duece axles. I do know that the 5/4 Chev axles are 4.56 or less depending on whether you get M1008 or M1009 blazer axles. The M1008 uses a Corporate 14 bolt 4.56 with a Dana 60 4.56 front. Do not have the spacing available right now for spring percehs. I believe the blazer to be a narrower axle.

I'm not a restorer in any means. I'm a builder. And the kms dodge you speak of now resides under my 52 dodge cab and box.
