Sir Sam Posted October 22, 2008 Posted October 22, 2008 So just out of curiosity.......what rear end is this? Someone had pulled it at the junkyard and left it sitting out in the open, they had pulled the pan cover prolly checking the gears....... Bet they would be pissed if I had rolled it out and bought it. so.....what is it?
DirtyComanche Posted October 22, 2008 Posted October 22, 2008 Yeah, it's a later model 14 bolt full-float, with a 10.5" ring gear and third pinion bearing... The gearset is unbreakable, basically, and the shafts are huge (they're like 1.58" or something at the splines). Hangs low, really low, so they need shaving... Often they can be had with 4.56 gears from the yard, and sometimes you'll even get a factory detroit I believe...
possum Posted October 22, 2008 Posted October 22, 2008 Yup looks like a 14 bolt to me. My 89 Chevy had one With a locker from the the factory.

Some ppl are shaving these and having custom shafts made and welding d60 knuckles on them to make rear steer.
Sir Sam Posted October 22, 2008 Author Posted October 22, 2008 fun stuff. What is something like that worth?
Throttle_Jockey Posted October 23, 2008 Posted October 23, 2008 Whats up with the double spring perches?? If I'm not mistaking the inner perches were for dually's and the outer's were for single wheel although the hub assembly was different between the single and dual wheels also
reson46 Posted October 23, 2008 Posted October 23, 2008 Whats up with the double spring perches?? I think the inner one is a bump stop pad, not a spring perch. Willy
pingpong Posted October 27, 2008 Posted October 27, 2008 fun stuff. What is something like that worth? In my area you can buy surplus ones with disc brakes and a detriot locker in "new" condition for 700. With out the disc they go for 500. These are for military surplus that are " new" in the shipping crates. Most of the time good useable axles that are complete and have good brakes.. can bring around 200 bucks. If the brakes are shot.. they are worth 100 at the most in my opinion.
