The back axle is a Eaton HO52. I believe the HO72 was a one ton and/or dually model. The gearing for the Eaton was 4.10, 4.56 or 5.13. You might want to start saving $$$ for a disk conversion for the rear or a 14 bolt swap since the 12" drum parts (drums and wheel cylinders) are unavaliable for the Eaton anymore. The good thing is that the Eaton is a full float axle and the axle shafts are wicked tough.
