Cornfuzzled yet again...
The 80-81 was what is known as the half gussett on the front...it's rounded like the axle tube...82-83 is known as a 3/4 gussett, also rounded on bottom, but stops next to the ubolt...84-85 is known as the full gussett, and is 'squared off' on the bottom, and encapsulated by the ubolts...Yup generic solid axle era (79-95 in the USA) axles. The rears are all the same, as I said the 4x4 uses the same brake shoes as the 1 ton 2WD rear axle.
The gusset didn't appear until 80. From 80-83 it went to the u bolts. 84 and 85 got a longer gusset that went all the way passed the u bolts to the end of the tube.
In the IFS era (86-95 in the USA) the rear axle is 3" wider, the drums are 11" instead of 10".
And yes, the biggest reason the tew is getting **** is because he's standing up saying everything the idiot that bank rolled this hoopty told his is the gospel and we are all dumb. Sorry but the guy made **** up or was just too busy flapping his cock holster to know he was ignorant.
He said it had an aluminum block and a magnet disproved that. Yet it simply MUST have 1 ton gears because he said it did? Really? :haha:
Oh yea, take that axle back out of the housing and put the poor thing it correctly will ya? The lever for the e brake goes on the back of the housing not under it. :redneck:
Oh, and front solid axles are only offered on the USA truck 79-85, not 95 TRASHYPOO! :fawkdancesmiley:
