Re: Which rear end do I have
Measure your axles from the mounting surface (where the back side of the wheel would make contact) to the end of the splines. The early ones are 30 1/2" Later ones were 31 5/16" (not all were 5 lug.. some 6 luggers with the longer axles)
Usually if you find the OEM 5 lug axles they will be for the later rear end. Most 5 lugs @ 30.5" are some sort of aftermarket in my experience Hope this helps.. Chad

Re: Which rear end do I have
If you're swapping out and the bolt that holds the pin breaks when you take it out.. I have the tool to fix it.
Let me know.. 85% of the time the bolt will break off down in the hole. Major PITA to fix if you don't have this tool.. you're welcome to borrow mine. Posted via Mobile Device

Re: Which rear end do I have
I got the bolt out okay but the pin broke just above the hole where the bolt goes in the pin. Where would be the best place to get a new pin.
