**53burb** · 08-09-2004, 11:57 AM

It sounds like you have an Eaton Rear. I also have a '69 3/4 ton. I believe the ratios are either 4.11 or 4.57...

FRENCHBLUE72 · 08-09-2004, 11:58 AM

It could also be a eaton from the round cover you describe..

JimKshortstep4x4 · 08-09-2004, 12:08 PM

Jim it does not look like any of them, dana or gm the filler hole is on the left hand side of the cover.when you are standing in the back of the truck.

heres my eaton

biglou55 · 08-10-2004, 02:56 PM

thank,s budweis

That,s it round cover and all do you happen to know what ratios they used. or if it is on the case anywhere. thank,s biglou.

Dean · 08-10-2004, 03:13 PM

4.10 or 4.56 most likely. Ratio not on the case. You can either pull the back cover to read it or do the old spin the wheel and watch the driveshaft routine.

biglou55 · 08-10-2004, 03:16 PM

Thank.s dean

richardwilken · 08-10-2004, 11:19 PM

Budweis,
I Assume Your Truck Was Originally Drums All Around. Where Did The Discs Come From? Is There A Manufacturer Producing A Conversion Kit To Go To All Drums? Thanks

Budweis · 08-10-2004, 11:40 PM

yeah was 4 wheel drum, got the rear disc kit for the eaton at Blackbirds and for the front im using a 72 dana 44 with disc already on it i got from bram. all 4 wheels will use the same rotor calipers, and pads now which is also a bonus.

Budweis · 08-11-2004, 01:59 PM

thanks bram, tires are 35x14.50 on 16x10 rims. it's getting a 6" lift.

**Joesjunk** · 08-11-2004, 03:51 PM

Here is a pic of where the #'s are stamped on an Eaton rear end. Not a very good pic, but it should help. If you find the letters, I can look it up for you.

**Joesjunk** · 08-11-2004, 03:54 PM

Opps, forgot the pic,

**Joesjunk** · 08-11-2004, 03:55 PM

That pic is the top of the 3rd member. Good luck!!

biglou55 · 08-14-2004, 03:39 PM

:p Joe the # on the rearend are MU0110G there is another # lower on the drivers side also 3883379 all help is apreciated biglou.

**Joesjunk** · 08-15-2004, 11:42 PM

My book shows 1969 "MU" to be a 3:73 Locking axle for a C-20 or a
G-20? It also shows "MU" to be a 1967 C-30 5:14 Locker rear axle? Does that sound like what you have???

biglou55 · 08-16-2004, 08:35 AM

Joe i beleive it,s the mu 3-73 unit the rear hasn,t been changed acording to the p-o . is it worth anything seeing that it is a 3/4 ton locker. biglou 55 (

thank,s for your patience and help)

**Joesjunk** · 08-16-2004, 12:01 PM

If your rear axle is a Eaton, I have never seen a 3:73 ratio in one of them. You might want to double check by pulling the cover and getting the numbers off the ring gear. You might also double check the "MU" code on the rear end again. My book shows codes for trucks and vans, and I am thinking the 3:73 was a van ratio??? Having the locker makes it worth alot more.
