hey all,

Bought a 71 gmc 2500 custom a few weeks ago and being green to 4 wheel drive suspension I had a fewe questions.

How do I determine which axles (differentials) I have.
how do I tell if they are dana 44/60 or ?
How do I determine which transfer case I've got?

Got a great deal on the truck
straight body, 400 sm blk (would have liked a 350 though)
th350, great interioir, 6" lift, 35x12.5x16.5's, great whells and tires, headache rack, rails, steps

all for the low price of $3400

Just want to say that there are some great trucks on this site and thanks for all the great advice from everyone!!!
