Can you identify this axle? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

PsRumors · 11-01-2006, 03:16 PM

Just as the title states. Can you identify this axle? Is there enough there to give any identifing marks? This is under an '85 Chevrolet front end. Guesses? This vehicle is being shipped to me but it's killing me to know the drive train. Here is another thread with a little more detail. Another thread

This is the only pictures of the front end that I have so far.

hmm i can't tell by those pics but looks nice and clean !!!!

Is that 'burb a 1/2 ton? If it is, then that should be a 10 bolt, if it's factory.

benoit454 · 11-01-2006, 04:48 PM

I'd bet it's a gm 10-bolt because it has little fangs on bottom just like my 86 1/2 ton.

ARAMP1 · 11-01-2006, 04:50 PM

Looks like a 10 bolt. They have these tabs at the corners.

PsRumors · 11-01-2006, 05:00 PM

It's a burb 3/4 ton. It has the full float rearend so it is 8600 GVWR.

magnethead · 11-01-2006, 05:21 PM

uneducated guess: 14 bolt rear/10 bolt (maybe 12 if they exist, but i'm thinkin 10) bolt front

BIGCHEVYMAN · 11-01-2006, 06:04 PM

It is definately a 10 bolt front.

Jonboy · 11-01-2006, 06:12 PM

It's probably still a 10 bolt in the front.

**Captkaos** · 11-01-2006, 10:31 PM

Unless it was swapped out, it is a 10bolt which is factory. There were no 1T Burbs, so no D60 from the factory.

*trkklr77* · 11-01-2006, 10:44 PM

you can see the ball joints from here, see how the axle C is above knuckle at the top and bottom. d60's the knuckles go over the axle C on top and under on bottom.

Russell · 11-02-2006, 01:20 AM

Yep, that'd be a 3/4 ton 10 bolt. Has two u-bolts on the pass side too, D60 only has one.
