Re: Rear Axle Ratio Charts For 1967 - 1972 GM Trucks
This is one awesome thread! So the stamp on my axle is TPR 0612w2 E. It is decoded as either 1970 KE 10 3.07 w/ posi or 1971 G-10 3.36. The gears are 3.07 I can confirm but not with a stamp, rather an engraving where the stamp usual is. This is a 12 bolt unit.
Is the KE designated as 4 wheel drive rear end? Any literature on decoding the casting #s on the outside of rear end? #3896839 My truck is a 1970 k10 swb. Im curious id that 12 bolt was an option on a 1/2 ton truck. The SPID does not say that. Most likely added later by previous owner? |

E = Eight cylinders. Other designators are -- KS, KM, KA. S = Six cylinders [L6] M = Six cylinders [V6] A = All trucks. Front wheel drive [only] was not an option in this era. All vehicles were primarily rear wheel drive. Front wheel drive assist was actuated by locking the hubs. You have to get out of the truck, stand in the mud, stoop down and twist the levers on each side to engage. The Corporation 12-Bolt differential was standard on all 1/2 tons. [There may have been ''Heavy Half'' variations optioned, but I won't get into that. ] dlyons321 -- Is your truck an automatic? Manual gearshift trucks got 3.73. Automatics got 3.08. 3.36 is an unusual ratio for a pickup. G/10s are 1/2 ton Vans iirc. |

I understand everything other than the 12 bolt coming standard on 1/2 ton trucks. I have been under the impression that 1/2 ton got 10 bolts and 3/4 ton got the 12 bolts. My truck is automatic and has Dana 44 with 3.07 gears in the front. |

Later than 67-72, S/15s had 10 bolt diffs, but that was coincidental and another type. The 12-Bolt Truck rearend was different from the 12-Bolt Car diff, too. I'm not expert on the EATON and HO52 rears. They were 3/4 ton iirc. |

ahhhh I got it now. I apologize I'm a recovering square body guy. I bought this truck in July and I'm just now getting some real time with it. Thanks for your help!
