Re: unusual options
Yesser, it has the rack body (9 1/2') and the single leaf over-load spring on each side. I bagged the rear, but left the over-loads on in case I lost a bag. That way it would settle to the over-load, but I could still drive it home.
I'm thinking it's the Dana 60 (round cover, and you have to remove the axle to service the brakes,) but I have yet to find an identifier on it. When I changed the bearings I had the old ones in-hand, and the shop measured them to order the new ones.

Re: unusual options
That's an Eaton, on one of the photos, (bare frame in back) if you look real carefull, you can see one of the bolts that holds the third member into the housing. Dana isn't like that.
slomotion, short bed?? What's the wheelbase on that? |

Re: unusual options
Longhorn, you may very well be right about the third member, I don't know. There's a ring of bolts on the forward side of the pig to take out the ring and pinion, and there's a ring of bolts on the back-side to take off the back cover. All I know for sure is, it's a gaummy son of a gun!
The wheel base is 127" which is only 6-7" longer than my '80 short-step. The only reason I refer to it as a short bed is because every other rack body I've compared it to has been longer and this one hasn't been shortened. Later
