Help please. Rear axle ID

Can some one help me figure out what this rear axle is. My brakes are shot and I can't figure out where to start.
Wheel bolt pattern is from a car 5 on 4.75

"RHT" axle code comes back as a 72 CS10-CE10 3.07P. So it would have been built with a 5 on 5" bolt pattern.

Re: Help please. Rear axle ID

Thanks. Sure enough I can't hold a tape measure straight. Long story short, I smoked my drums pulling into the muffler shop to get my new headers hooked up to the old pipes. I know I should have bled the brakes first after it sat for a year, but excitement got the better of me. The shop ordered up the drums for a 72 c10 and the shoes barely made contact. I've got the old drums on it now, but they feel like coaster brakes. Before I get into slave cylinders (I replaced the master) and such, did the C10s and C20s use different brake components in 72? I'm at a loss.

"Sitting" for any length of time does not require bleeding. That is only required if you "open" the system by replacing a wheel cylinder, caliper, or any of the lines.
The only thing sitting could really do is rust something up to the point of failure.

Bad planning on your part does not necessarily constitute an instant emergency on my part....

The great thing about being a pessimist is that you are either pleasantly surprised or right.
