Subject: [MV] CUCV spring pads
>He y'all,
>Got a CUCV question for you. Are the spring pads on the M1009 Blazer the
>same distance apart as the spring pads on the M1008 pick-up? I was told
>they were before. My rear end is getting ready to grenade in my M1009 for
>the third time (too much tire, off-road use, and bad gears) and I have a
>line on a set of 1-ton axles that I could swap. My custom 1-ton driveshaft
>already has the 1350 joints on it so it will match up. The place with the
>axles also has some tires and wheels. The 4.56 gears would be nice too and
>it would give me about 3/4" more height since tubes are bigger. Any help
>would be appreciated. Yes, I know I'll be modifying a military vehicle,
but
>my daily driven, 100k plus mile truck is way beyond stock anyway so please
>save your flames for someone who puts a mint slat grille body on a Chevy
>S-10 chassis. :o) Thanks in advance.
>Sincerely,
