On the top forward section of the drop out.

I know this is not helping

Yes, I'd noticed the code is not coming up as a listed code for a 72 or any of the three digit codes I have. Any possibility you can recheck that for us?

Ok i'll check tomorrow, and even take a pic too.

Bigdave160, Well thanks for trying, i appreciate it.

My front axle codes Dana 44:

Casing upper and lower driver side:
C-31256
44-5F

Tag: No i didn't open it up yet, i will soon and i will count teeth and record numbers.
45:11
4.09

Axle stamp:
7 20 1A4 60332 9

Per service manual, Day Month year/shift/Assy line. I Assume 1=1971, A=first shift, 4=which assembly line

The on line service PDF states: If 2 build dates the second is the date the brakes were assembled. I don't think the second set of numbers is a second build date but could be wrong, any feedback?

The JHG 2521 was a raised number built into the casting not a steel stamped number if i remember correcly. Am i looking for a stamped number?

[swamp rat]

Ok, I was wrong about the raised number part, it was stamped on the top passenger side, overworked and lack of sleep...........

This is what i found by looking again:

R JHG 2521

Even with a flash light the sun can play tricks on the eyes when outside, hope i didn't miss even more..

Hopefully this pic will load.

One more time.

what if only the one wheel you are spinning turns? if i spin one of the rear ends i have quick enough i will see the opposite tire spin the same way, but for the most part if i just casually spin the wheel the other doesnt move.

the pic helped me, mine is stamped as a THS so it should be a .307 posi but when i turn the wheel both dont spin the same or opposite ways.
