72 rear end

I have a 72 3/4 ton camper special and want to know how I can positively identify the rear end. Thanks for any tips

Re: 72 rear end

Here is a link with pictures for rear axles. Should be an Eaton but have seen Dana 60 rears also. http://www.blackbirdscustomtrucks.com/index5.html

Re: 72 rear end

It could have either the corperate axle with the eaton diff, or the dana.
Assuming it is original;
Looking at it from the frear, if the cover is round, like a bowl, it's an eaton. It also has a removeable 3rd member un the front, like a ford 9 inch rear end.
