- In this video we regear a GM 10.5” 14 bolt full float axle. The axle was swapped into our 1972 GMC Jimmy from an ‘80s k30. Previously it had 4.56 gears but it was time to go low and drop to 5.38s!
Eric has built many axles and shares some tips and tricks from his experience.

Another great video guys... looking forward to part two!!
Glad you like it, part 2 coming soon.
This was very informative
Thanks for watching
Thanks soo much. we are doing ours now and this helps alot.
Glad it help. Good luck with the gears!
how did you set your pinion depth you never showed that and that is the most important part to this build ..???
You’re right we did seem to miss that. The pinion has a shims that you add between the bolted surfaces. We took the measurement of the stack we took out and it happened to be right for the new gears.

What companies are making good rebuild kits as far as bearing/races and who makes a quality crush sleeve eliminator?
We’ve had good luck with parts from Yukon, Genuine Gear, and USA Standard Gear.

Can I do a 14 bolt swap on my 1990 gmc1500 with 4.56 gears
And keep original front diff and just match gearing
Yeah, you can do that. You can pretty much put in any axle combination you want as long as you match gears for the 4 wheel drive to work.
