Thats cool, i bought a 1992 K1500 blazer over the summer, i know most chevy 4x4's came with open diff's front and rear, in my last pick up i had the same thing, open diffs on both axles, but when i roasted a carrier bearing in teh rear axle, I was able to find a cheap Gov-loc to replace the open carrier while i was in there.

There is nothing wrong with the bearings in my current truck but I was stopped at a light last night in right hand lane and the passenger side rear wheel must have been on some black ice and i almost had to throw it in 4WD just to get that tub rollin. I did a little research and found that the stock 10 bolt axle in that truck is for a 8.5 ring gear and 30 spline axles.

If i can locate a cheap Gov-loc or even an auburn i could throw it in there. Let me know what you find.

Thanks
