Well if it has a round removable cover and drop out center section, then it is a corperate axle, also refered to as the eaton. 4.10 is the best you can shoot for. It was replaced in1973 by the 14 bolt full floater.

Is this also known as a pumkin this is new to me just got the truck, will a 73 full floater replace this?

**JIMs70GMC** · 03-23-2005, 08:12 PM

yep, and yes a dana 60 will replace it. I have a dana60 in my 70 and the eaton in my 71, both 3/4 tons. Do you need leafs rear or coil springs and 2wd or 4wd? The leaf springs spacing is different between 2wd and 4wd, 42" v. 40". The one ton rears are also 40". For a 14bolt full floater from a 73 and up, look for a 1 ton rear as the spring spacing is 40.5' or a 3/4 ton version wich will be 42.5".
