Tell me what this is

[Dusty]

Cheby, dodge or Intertrashional

Well I was told it was a Chebby, and it fits stock 85 Blaser brake calipers, so maybe I got the right font end??

Any web markings? Cause there isn't any.

Being SOA and 6 lug, I'd bet it's a Chevy, I don't think Dodge or IH used 6 lug axles. There should be a set of #s stamped on the front side of the long tube, just a few inches from the pumpkin (as long as they're not rusted off). Closest to the pumpkin will be a date code, followed by a 6 digit number, possibly followed by a -1 or -2 (like 610320-1). That would be your BOM (bill of material). From that, you could tell what year and vehicle the axle was built for.

with it being a spring over housing it isnt a jeep front end.

As to CTM's remember you gotta goto alloys otherwise they will oblong stock axle ears.

Maybe not
Looking for the BOM today I didn't find one.


Also under the passenger perch, it looks like it was a spring under and a new perch welded on top



And here's a couple shots or the knuckle ends ...

from all the pictures, i would guess wagoneer axles. Still a good set of axles, just not what you were told

wasnt MC under there? or was that just ripping out your old axles

Nah - he just did the ripout, they didn't get here until a week after he left. I was hoping to get them in before and swap them out while he was here, but ...

Question now is the inner axle lengths (without pulling'm) so I can get spares. I'm between 59 & 61" WMS. I've got those nasty looking shafts for the rear that the guy "said" fit - but with what else has happend, I'm not going to risk rebuilding them until I know for sure.

I guess when I get back from SDGO, I'll jerk the long shafts and measure. If it's a stock waggy rear the shafts will measure the same. The front, if it's the standard 4" reduction, they should also be available. But the short side shouldn't change in either case right. Right? Correct me if I'm wrong here...

those are mid eighties jeep axles mud.

those are mid eighties jeep axles mud.

The rear is 80-86 and the front is 74-79.
I dont see what the big deal is their both good axles.
The M20 is stronger than a D44,its weak spot is the tubes spinning in the housing and only being able to go 4.88 gears.
