'no-spin' in the SPID is the factory option trade name for the detroit locker in an Eaton.. typically..

the Dana 'posi-traction' is the factory trade name for limited slip.. [pictures of tags in thread link below]

Eaton HO52, chunk type third member with offset input and round sheet metal rear cover..

pinion load bolt has been debated whether HO72 only has been sighted on late HO52 axles as well..

both the axle in my '71 K20 burb and the '72 donor no-spin third members I have, have them..







donor HO52, well that's what we all thought but does have the load bolt so ??



from what I've read, the third members are freely interchangeable between HO52 and HO72 so not matter really for my use..

Dana 60 is... well, a typical Dana

here's a post from another thread with lots of pictures and measurements for reference..
