parts and value question - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**too much stuff** · 05-18-2003, 10:37 PM

I have a c-30 dually with an odd rear end. The truck is factory built, option in glove box reads "D R wheel conversion" The center section bolts into the front, and appears that axle tube is longer on pass side. Front side looks similar to a ford 9" (but bigger) Also says no slip rear end. Looks narrow also. What is it, and what is it worth? Also wondering about value on 72 blazer rear seat. One small tear, otherwise nice, with seat belts attached. Does anyone have pictures of factory bumper gaurds? Sorry no pictures, and stuff not for sale. Thanks for any help and opinions. too much stuff

not sure, but "D R wheel conversion" could mean Dually Rear wheel conversion.
The description seems to fit the Eaton/Corp rear axle. The rear cover is huge and round...like a salad bowl?

Yes it is, is that a good rear end? Any idea on value? I guessed the D R stood for dual rear conversion also . Thanks, Eric

Value is a touchey subject on these....some say htey are awsome, others say junk. I have not made up my mind yet.
To someone doing a proper restoration, they are gold. But to most of the rest of us, the parts are too hard to find, and cost too much once they are found. A later rear will fit with minimall fuss.

Anyone have a ballpark dollar figure on seat or rear end?
