M1009 front drive shaft

[WWRD99]

I'm sure I will need to call on you gentleman again. When I got this 84 it was pretty much a basket case I've come a long way with it. Although I was lucky enough to get pretty much every spare part from the gentleman that sold it to me but everything seems to be very strong as in joints and engine and front end and all.

Hey I just saw you posted about a 1009. I'm not sure that front driveshaft will fit since I put my 1028 in to find it.

I just ran a cross reference. K5 and K30 front shafts are not interchangeable. Mixing up the M1008 and M1009 is why I ended up having to lathe down my new K5 shock bolts to fit my new K30 shocks.

Likewise, this is the equivalent part to what @WWRD99 posted for an M1009:

Yup that's what I said. Won't fit a blazer but they're out there for the blazer from the same company on amazon just didn't look it up yet. Curious as to what you had to lathe to get shocks to fit?

I got K5 upper rear shock bolts from ORD and had to mill the shanks down so they would pass through the eyes of new KYB K30 shocks. Likewise, in the front, the center tubes in the K30 shock bushings had to be cut to fit the mounting tabs on the 10-bolt. They were too wide. That experience helps me to keep in mind that even though they all look the same, everything doesn't fit the same.
