What Front Axle is This: 1972 K20 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

roger0080 · 05-26-2012, 05:22 PM

It is on a 1972 K20 4x4.
Picture was from an e-bay listing from quite a while ago.

BLAZERMAN · 05-26-2012, 06:46 PM

Wish I could help...I've never seen anything like that before.

71veronica · 05-26-2012, 09:04 PM

Definately looks stout. Almost looks like a center section of an irs front made into solid axle. But most of the irs cases are aluminum. Never seen one like that either.

Do you have any other pics of the truck this was in?

Unfortunately all I saved was the axle and the spid picture from that listing.

The spid has all the usual options you see on them. Nothing unique about it.

I wish I could remember what it had for lockouts. But if it wasn't the standard big hub spicers, I would have probably saved a picture of that to go with the axle.

It's one Frankenstein built axle I think.

i've never seen anything like this before either...i would hate to have to roll that thing around tho...looks heavy as hell

Redcap · 05-28-2012, 12:42 PM

Looks like a front axle out of some piece of equipment. I've seen one of those before, trying to remember what it was in...

**special-K** · 05-30-2012, 07:27 PM

I know. It's a...I mean a...you know,one uh them...

**Dieselwrencher** · 05-30-2012, 07:47 PM

I bet it is easy to find parts for it too.

IDK what it is either. Very interesting!

I especially like post #20 from that thread.

Don't be a dickwad, you just said it was from an ad, not an old ad.

Someone was trying to be a Pirate bad azz and got shut down.

odog · 06-01-2012, 11:36 PM

I havnt heard anybody called a dickwad in a long time. That brought a smile to my face

Who? I said it was the only picture I had, and that it "was"(past tense) from an ad. Seems self explanatory to me.
