The junkyard way out in mining country has a collection of oldies sitting around. Some junk was in the way of me climbing under one of them to try and ID a rear end, but I remember some clues that I hope some of you can work with.
The truck had a six lug rear.
It had IFS.
It had drum brakes.
It was 2wd.
Tailgate, cab & engine all missing. Don't know for sure what it was.
I think / hope it adds up to "Early GM C10 12 bolt rear" because I want to put posi & rear discs into my '57.
What say ye - sound like a probable 12 bolt?
