Help ID locking hub

[hopkinschevelle]

Hi guys , can anyone ID what axle this locking hub would go on? I just bought this truck and got little info. It's a 75 k20 but I think they were wanting to make it a mud truck.

My brother in law said the hubs look like they would be for a 1 ton Dana 60 but didn't think the actual housing was a Dana 60 if that makes any sense

I've tried scanning eBay to try to figure it out and have had no luck. The bolts for the hub are larger than anything I've seen

Hope the pics attached

I believe that's a large hub Dana 44, isn't it?

Thats a gm spicer hub , 73-78 , 70-72 were blue , fords were red , very popular hub

Kinda what I had gathered so far but I can't find replacement locking hubs for it.

The one in the picture seems to slide and opporate fine but doesn't have that locking feel like the other side when I lock it in

Kinda new to the older k trucks. Anything in particular I should know about this particular differential?

The locking mech is yellow on this particular unit.

Thanks for chiming in

Yes it looks to have the yellow dials 73-76 Dana 44 HD definitely not off a Dana 60 summit racing offers warn premium lockouts for the dana 44HD

keep the right grease in them and don't over grease and they are a great hub , make sure your actuator cam is pushing the gear into the other one they are a very easy moving hub

This is what I was hoping to hear. I had expected it to be a harder turn than it is. I guess o won't need to buy any then.

Thanks for the help guys ! Greatly appreciated!

The red Ford dials are still available new. I used them when I rebuilt my '73 hubs.

those are the original factory "spicer" hubs used on 3/4 ton 4x4's, yellow is the correct color for the year truck you have, I love those hubs and if you want to sell them to me let me know....
