"New" truck with a lot of issues.

[jimmydean]

I bought a truck over the weekend and I pick it up later today. It's a '71 3/4 ton LWB with 350/4 speed. I know it runs and drives, but I haven't driven it yet. I sold my truck over the weekend because I missed my redneck 4x4. I found this truck while I was at a tow lot buying a sports car and couldn't say no.

The first issue is the driver side axle shaft is busted. They pulled the shaft out and t looks like it's not too tough to replace based on the repair guide. It's a Dana 44 front.

My question is what rear axle came in these trucks? It's a large and very round differential with 10 bolts (not a GM 10 bolt) with 8 lugs.The owner had no idea what it was. I'll be posting pics later this week when I get it home and get it cleaned up.

Anyone have an axle ID page with pictures? Thanks.

<edit> Never mind. It's a corporate GM 10 bolt. Found it here.
