The M1008 has the same floating rear end that the Chev pickups use, all you
have to do is match the gear ratio. There are two different length rear ends
for dual wheels, one is the same as on regular pickups, it's wider, it's
used on flatbeds. The narrow rearend is used on regular box dually setups.
The full size Blazers and pickups rear ends will interchange, it;s easy to
change the yoke around.
