3/4 4x4 question - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

does anyone know what the front and rear axel on a 1979 3/4 chevy 4x4 camper special are?

or do you need some pics?

i know the rear is some 14 bolt

Probably a 14 full float rear and 10 bolt front. I have heard of some 3/4 having a 44 in front, but my experience has been that most after '78 were 10 bolts. Doesnt matter much though, they are pretty equal in strength.

Got a picture of your front axle?No doubt about the rear.

Look in the glovebox or under the hood for the RPO codes. Look for G80, that will be a Govlok. If that ain't there, pop the cover and take a look. If you see spider gears, it's open, and if you can't really see inside, then it's a Govlok.

As already stated, could be a Dana 44 or a Corp. 10 bolt. Same strength either way. Dana will have a stop sign sorta shape to it, 10 bolt will have almost a round cover. Also 10 bolt will have 2 tabs at 5 and 7 o'clock positions.

does your reand have four bolt holding the front pinion bearing in now your front end is cover smoothe or does it have ahump in it

dmartin1 · 01-11-2010, 02:17 AM

the front has a hump in it...on one side it has the big lump in the case.

ill check about that rearend tomorrow.
thanks for all the info!

so if it says gp80 or whatever its posi?

**special-K** · 01-11-2010, 07:02 AM

Yes,posi.I`m willing to bet it`s a Dana44 in a heavied up pre-80 K/20.To avoid confusion I call the rear a rear,same as a 2wd.I call the front axle...what I just said.The full name is front drive axle,but we can assume it`s a drive axle when we`re talking 4wd.I might say front end also.We use "rear" in place of differential.That works on 2wd w/1 drive axle/differential (in the rear).Front differential works well for referring to the front end.

I have a 76 K20 Camper Special with Dana 44 in front and 14bolt FF rear.

Google "Axle ID". The first two pages in the list will tell you what you have.
