MA WANTED: Complete rear axle for 1965 C-10 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

ChrisAunchman · 11-04-2011, 09:17 AM

Hey All,
I'm looking for a complete 12 bolt rear axle assembly for my 1965 C-10 build. I know other years would work, I think I can use anything from 64-72, but correct me if I'm wrong.

Gear ratio is not important, but would be more interested in something that has 3:73 or lower, limited slip another plus. I can set-up freight.

Thanks!
Chris Aunchman

HeavyMetalChevy · 11-04-2011, 09:27 AM

I have two Dana60 but I think they are both 10 bolt... I will check... You pretty much set on 12???

FickleFinn · 11-04-2011, 09:31 AM

I have a 12 bolt from a 1967 C10, needs rebuilding as the ring and pinion are well worn.
Has drums that look good and all the misc brake parts.

ChrisAunchman · 11-04-2011, 01:02 PM

Do the Dana 60's have the pads for the trailing arms or leaf springs?

ChrisAunchman · 11-04-2011, 01:03 PM

How much are you asking?

Chris... It just depends on the suspension I believe... The two I have are for leaf setups... the one I am getting monday is for rear coil springs

ChrisAunchman · 11-04-2011, 02:53 PM

The style I would need would be for the trailing arms. Let me know the condition of the one you get on Monday.

FickleFinn · 11-04-2011, 03:46 PM

My rear end is a trailing arm, 6 lug, needs a new ring and pinion. Has emergency brake cables, drums and all the misc brake parts. The drums are rusty so I don't know if they are in spec.

$200 + freight.

HeavyMetalChevy · 11-04-2011, 07:20 PM

Yes it is from a 69 C-10 with 6 lug and coil spring setup... I will shoot ya pics ASAP Monday... I really would like to move it as soon as I get it to recoup some of my overhead... Th truck runs so I will be giving it a spin for ya! And it was confirmed it is a 12 bolt as well!!! YEPPERS!

ChrisAunchman · 11-07-2011, 08:04 AM

What ratio is it?

If you still r looking I am going to have a 6 lug 12 bolt complete from a 67 with trail arms and all have not cut it away from frame yet and will need to verify ratio $200. Plus ship or you pick it up in NJ

**Todd68Chevy** · 11-09-2011, 07:45 AM

If the others do not work out and you can ship, I have a 6 lug, coil spring susp. 1968 C10 12 bolt with 3.73 gear ratio. It is an open trac. I pulled it from my truck that I have drove for 20 years and had 137,000 miles on it. The brakes are good. I removed it to install a 72 5 lug rear end because I went to disc brakes. Thanks

Cool let me know the ratio...

What is the ratio? How good of shape is the rear case in?

ChrisAunchman · 11-09-2011, 01:21 PM

The case looks good.....How do the gears look? Would it need new gears?

I do not want to step infront of the other guys but if it gets to me I can take pictures with the rear cover off. It is out of my personal truck that I have owned since 1990 and put 37,000 miles on with out trouble (it has a total of 137,000 miles on it). I put new wheel cylinders on it 6 months before I pulled it out of the truck and the shoes looked good. I have stored it inside since I removed it a year ago. The metal lines have been cut but the parking brake cables are good. Thanks

HeavyMetalChevy · 11-09-2011, 02:56 PM

The results are in..This thing look-a-real nice.. Fluid was not bad at all... 3.73 gears...All writing on ring gear is still legible...as you can tell by the pics the gears are awesome shape.

**too much stuff** · 11-09-2011, 03:12 PM

I have a 4:11 open from a 66 with coils. Came out of a forestry truck. (1/2 ton) $150

Oh I meant the housing (axle tubes), I just want to make sure it will clean up nicely.

Oh yeah man.... People think I am crazy but I clean ALL my parts... I am OCD like that... I can not ship "messy" things... I have powerwashed steering boxes, ac/heater boxes, carboard boxes, bolts, nuts...lol you get the point...

How was you going to arrange ship?

HeavyMetalChevy · 11-16-2011, 09:51 AM

Hey bro...just checking in.... You still looking???? I have a buddy coming in for the holidays and I can possibly have him lift the rear back east with him..He is in D.C. area... cuts trip from here in half

ChrisAunchman · 11-16-2011, 10:57 AM

Actually I had a local guy pull through for me. He just got something in and called me about it. Thanks though!
