I’m trying to figure out what axles and drivelines to run on my 1980 4x4 Chevy luv. I already know it’s gonna have a Chevy 350 small block and a nv35000 transmission, but I don’t know what axles or drivelines will work best with this, any help is appreciated!!

Unless you go solid axle swap on the front, there are none. Anything that would be native to your drive train will be WAY too wide, anything narrow enough to fit won't be strong enough, unless the 350 is 1990's bone stock then you could use Trooper axles. But that's about it.

The front is going to be a solid axle I’m sorry I forgot to mention that.

I have a 1980 listed in classifieds for sale. I installed a 2004 chevy blazer rear end. Everything bolted right up including the brake lines. You have to use your lower shock plates from the Luv and drill out the holes a little. This gives you disc brakes all around on the truck. Bob
