HO110 has been found

Hi everybody, Ive been away from the forum for some time sled pulling.

I scored a real 1947 GM HO110, its in the driveway. It's an odd one with 10 bolt hubs, a flange type axle shaft like a modern pickup truck, a pickup sized hub where it goes through the wheel, and a bolt on rear cover. It's housing is 18" tall or so at the center, it would take 3-4 burly guys to pick it up. 750 LBS easy. It's so massive compared to the HO72, I think people will need pictures just to understand. The HO72 is one strong axle but this is comparable to the rockwell 106 all around. We actually compared it to the 106 as the guy I bought the 110 from had a 106 right there.

This is a beast of an axle for sled pulling. The ring gear OD is 12.25", the third member weighs 150ish LBS 6.17 ratio, 1 5/8" axle shafts. Does anyone know of some old pullers who may know which Eaton axle gears may fit? The DS34, DS38, AND S130 ring gears look very very similar. The S130 has a 12.2" published ring gear OD. I would like it to be 4.88 ratio, not one used by GM.
