Re: Help identify axle

It's identified as a Corporate HO52 or non-Dana is how GM books list parts.It is an Eaton center section.There's a guy selling shafts in the parts board right now.How'd you break that beast?

Re: Help identify axle

I went by the first picture.I thought that was a different axle on the floor jack.Now I see the flange on the axle shaft has 6 studs and it is a semi-floater to boot.Good eye Rat.That will be a hard one to find.It would be nice to replace with a 14-bolt 6-lug semi-floater.But,you already have the 10-bolt.
what truck is that under?Is it a Napco?

Re: Help identify axle

That would be the same axle as the 50s.I asked Napco because the rear would be the corporate 2wd.

Re: Help identify axle

That's the normal 1/2 ton rear used 55-62. Some people call it an Eaton, but it was actually made by GM. I believe the GM designation is either H033 or H035.

My 60 C-10 has basically the same rear, except with brackets for the trailing arm supension. The most common ratio is 3.90, but they were also made with 4.11 and 3.38, the last being quite scarce.

Re: Help identify axle

I'm not trying to hijack this thread....

I just don't see the sense in 10 different threads asking the same question.

So,
Could somebody identify this front axle?
it's on a 1979 1/2-Ton Chevy Suburban.






Thanks

Re: Help identify axle

^Thanks.

If it is safe to assume the front gear ratio is the same as the back, then is a 3:40 a good ratio?

--see pic--

Depends on what you're doing with the truck.... for a fairly stock street-driven truck, 3.40 is a good all-around compromise. Low enough to give you decent acceleration, low-end grunt, and towing power -- and high enough to be driven at highway speeds. Not too bad for fuel mileage either, but that's kind of a moot point on most of these trucks anyway.
