Is that a dual wheel rear? They don't say,but that was my thought when I looked. They don't say much at all,except how much they want for it. Don't even mention ratio. Shipping would be killer,but not for me. It's about 20 minutes from where I sit! If I get time I'll go check. Maybe it's a No-Spin (and they don't know,like the ratio)

All of those questions are answered if you scroll down the ad.

I need to buy wheel bearings for mine. I removed them and left them soaking in something that pitted them.

I don't see anything special about it. Why pay the shipping when you can find these under any 1 ton truck in your own area? Rears here run about $75 bucks.

Our local yards get big trucks in all the time. (not sure how long that will last but for now...)

I scrolled down to description and stopped when I saw their banner and all,thinking that was it (like so many listings). The single rear HO72s are not all that common,but those brake parts are different from C/20s and all the more rare. Wouldn't make a lot of sense to swap those in. That place is proud of their stuff. It's a repair garage/body shop/used car lot/used part business. A bit more "polished" than a junkyard and their prices reflect that. They sublet work for new car dealerships. The Stup name is as old as the county and this business is an old "fixture"

I believe it said it was under a suburban, so im guessing its single rear wheel, and probably a 4.11 ratio. in my area these axles are rare!!! so I was ecstatic to find this. a lot of the junk yards around me have 1985 and newer vehicles, and the ones who do have these old trucks want to charge an arm an a leg for these

[special-K]

The ad said pickup,so C/30 Longhorn. That price isn't bad at all. No junkyard around here sells rears for any less. More like $300. Members here on the board,who aren't businesses with overhead or for profit list HO52/72s for $100 and up. Something like this has got to be a local purchase,though

.....and there's a panhard bar mount? Ok,my first thought was "lowered C/30" (axle flip). But then I see the panhard bar mount. Coil rear converted to leaf? If so,it must be an HO52 because all C/30 frames were leaf. Boy,it's looking more and more like I should go check out this rear I have absolutely no interest in buying right now (broke/already have stash) just because I'm a ding dang truck nut!

buying stuff ya don't need, just cuz your into trucks.... sounds like you have same sickness as me

[special-K]

I just want to go look at it out of pure curiosity. I do buy just to have,but don't intend to this time. I'm sure this is an HO52 with load bolt
