M715 axles...found some! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Found a guy with D60 fronts and D70 rears, 5 sets! Not sure yet if the fronts are closed or open knuckle.

Any chance these could swap under our trucks with a minimum of hassle?

Hahaha...yeah. It seems these early style axles are so weak that people swap D44/fronts from our trucks into replace them.

i have a 67 m715 you dont want those axles. we usually swap them for a d60 and d70 combo..
the axles are a beast to get parts for. and a beast for gear ratios.
they do last forever.. but you dont want them on your chevy...
