What Was Last Year For GM Straight Axles?

What was the last model year for straight front axles in GM trucks?

If it matters specifically thinking of the 3/4 ton Suburban.

Thanks

1 ton trucks and Crew Cab trucks were 1991.

Plus the OP mentioned a suburban (blazer too).

Really 1/2 ton and 3/4 ton trucks, regular cab and extended (which didn't exist in the old square bodies from the factory) went to IFS first, but the rest of the stuff, Blazer, Suburban 1/2 and 3/4, plus crew cabs and 1 ton dually stayed solid until 1991.

Good point about Kodiaks, I always forget them.
