Looking for a tie rod bar

hard to tell from the pic but it looks like you have an open knuckle front diff. 69 was closed knuckle with drum brakes, 70 was open knuckle drum brakes, 71 on up was open knuckle disc brakes. which one do you have ? i have one from a 72 low mileage blazer, $100.00 shipped in a pvc tube.

Good question, however, I have no idea. How can I tell? We do have disc brake kit on it.

there is a number stamped in the axle tube that will tell the year, axle ratio etc. i assume you are not the original owner so best have the number de-coded to figure out exactly which diff you have, that will also help you later on when replacement parts are needed-bearings, seals, axle u-joints, etc.

Correct, not the original owner. The axle is stamped 44-5F. Yes, it looks like open knuckle.

thats just a casting number, the numbers you are looking for are stamped into the axle tube--and are very small.

1969 Blazers had an open knuckle from the factory to my understanding.
