C20 rear diff.......
A friend recently picked up a survivor 1969.... The title, door jamb VIN plate, frame and SPID serial number(s) all match correctly.
Upon decoding the VIN, it was originally a C20 camper special, 2 wheel drive, it was converted to 5-lug front and rear, and currently has a 12-bolt rear diff... The SPID does not list the HO52 rear diff, would a 3/4 had an 8-lug 12-bolt from the factory? Thanks.... |

Re: C20 rear diff.......
HO52 isn't on my '68 SPID. I assumed that was the base rear end for this truck, so it wasn't called out on the SPID.

Re: C20 rear diff.......
Thank you, I am seeing many pics of 2 wheel drive C20's with a floating rear hub visible.... I assume that is the HO52 rear diff....

Re: C20 rear diff.......
Mine are both Dana 60 on leaf springs. 8 lug full floater.
Don't know what differences there might be in the 69 to 72 model years.

This the rear end, tires and wheels off my 69' C20. It has trailing arms.

Re: C20 rear diff.......
Yep, but that's not the OP's axle.
C20 could have had a Dana 60 or an Eaton H0xx. I think big block trucks primarily got the Dana and small block the Eaton.

 To your question, 3/4 tons had 8-lug wheels. Pics would indicate if it's an Eaton diff. I have one but it's not listed on the SPID.
