When you take another look at that diff, I bet it's a roll pin that holds the cross shaft into the carrier, as opposed to a bolt.

Great looking truck!

Thanks Don, me too. I know they're most likely not REAL vintage TT-D's (anyone know how to tell for certain?) but the guy I bought them from said he'd had them from the mid 70's. Iroically, he'd been savingthem for a '55 Chevy Handyman wagon but was losing his business so he was selling off pretty much everything. I wish I'd had the cash to buy that wagon. It was in the same kinda shape as this truck.

Yes, I am. I've built 100+ axles (dana, ford, GM corporate, Toyota, etc.). I've seen carriers with bolts and carriers with roll pins, but I'd say better than 50% of the ones I've done have been roll pins. Get a can of brakleen, a good light, and a pick and you'll be able to figure it out.
