AXLE Question, What do I have?

Can someone tell me what I might have. 1/2 68 4x4 swb, has NP203 trasfer case, with Knuckle style front axle, Rear Axle not sure. I have fluid leaking from one of my front knuckles, and am guessing I need to replace a seal or gasket, where would I get this.

What type of Rear axle do I have? I want to buy a crome cover for it and need to know.

Thanks

Most likely it is a 12 bolt, but it could be a Dana 44. Why don't you post a pic?

Talking

On your front axle leak, check your vent tube/hose as they plug up a lot and can cause pressure to build up in the differential forcing oil out. If you have not done it, pull the hose, clean the plastic insert and blow the hose out with compressed air. If the hose is bad, you may wish to replace it. Also, check the fitting going into the differential housing and clean as necessary.
