1972 K20 front axle
Did all 72 K 20's front axles have closed knuckles?

Nope, Closed knuckle axles ended in 1969 for GM, both K10 and K20

Re: 1972 K20 front axle
Post a couple of pictures that actually show the axle. While it is probably a 67-69 Dana 44 or 44HD it could be something else.

Re: 1972 K20 front axle
thanks for response. I was told 1972 was the last year for the closed knuckle.

Re: 1972 K20 front axle
All disc brake trucks were open knuckle. All trucks '71 and newer have disc brakes. The steering changed when the trucks went to open knuckle in '70.
