WIW HO52 eaton rear end - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

OregonC20 · 09-16-2007, 11:24 AM

I have an Eaton rearend that someone wants to buy from me but I don't know how much I should to ask for. I don't know the gears on it but I understand the 3 gears were made for this rear end. this rear end is from a 1972 C20 Longhorn.

Thank you in advanced.

Took the cover out and find out that is a 4:10 gear.

I know that finding the brakes that match up to the rear end is a pain, is the complete axel from brake drum to brake drum? Maybe $100 bucks or so

tring to get brakes does suck as soon as the brakes are worn out on my friends he is gonna go 14 bolt

What, are drums not available? Mine are about worn out, never knew we couldn't get them anymore...

News Flash!!!Just walk into Napa and get every part you need for the rear.I`m not sure the r&p is available,though.Keep it lubed and fix worn pinion and carrier bearings and the r&p will last forever.

special k are you saying drums are availible for the eatons? i never checked but from what iv'e seen on here they are not. i didn't even check i just converted to disks to be covered

I bought mine at Napa.Just like in this thread,I see the hype over no parts available,which simply is just a myth.They`re damn good rears and many are scrapped by people thinking there`s no parts.

Everytime I went to NAPA or Autozone to get the Drums to replace on trucks that I have owned they were not available. Then the one time that I found a new set they were like $300 crazy for the drums. Sorry I mispoke, they are out there just hard to find and very expensive

Just the 4.10 center section is worth $100 if it is in good clean condition... or $300-$500 if it has the NoSpin option (detroit locker).
