eaton axle trouble - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

ok, so i have an eaton h052/72 in my jimmy. the drums look to be like the 052 but it has the pinion load screw thing that i read only the 072s have.

im confused as to which axle i have?

my second question is re there diffrent axle widths in the eatons? if so what measurements? my eaton came outta pre 60's pickup and is significantly narrower than my front end witch is a 8 lug d44.

my third and last question is if i do a disk brake swap on it will it make the eaton wider at all? reason being im going to run 38x15.5x16.5 tires and am afraid its going to rub the inner fender well.

ive searched and cant get a straight forward answer.
