I don't know what it was, 2wd, 4wd, all wheel, just kinda surprised me when i found it. If I had the money i was gonna snag it, but no yard guy ATT, and no easy way to get it out.
Aside from fixing the Diff on my '67 K/10 Suburban, I have a Fleetside 8' trailer that has 8 lug axles. Since I don't want to hunt down and pay a premium for more 16.5 tires, it would be nice to have 6 lug axles. No need for working differential. You can see thru it from the open back with no pan to the open hole where the universal would go. I have a lot of 6 lug rims.
