Axle replacement to new style for 59 Suburban?

Post by moparwagon »

Okay, I'm in the process of putting rear disc brakes and need to change to newer style (without the big nut on the end of the axle shaft). Anyone know what year/make/model axles I can use to replace the old axles? I haven't measured the lengths yet but know they are both the same length. And I haven't counted the splines, so don't know how many.

I'm stuck again, so any help is appreciated........I am learning A LOT about my Suburban. Ron

Well, I decided to go with new axles and had them made at Dutchman in Portland, OR. They turned out very nice for a reasonable $400 including new bearings. I think they'll give me more options for wheels to fit over the rear disc brakes are done too. Ron
