Blazer SPID thread? - Page 6 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Sweet! The SPID says 'aux top, black. Is that the soft top that's shown? I didnt know some came with 16's. And is that the original console?

You just get it? From where?

I see a lot of these with F76 - front wheel lock hubs. What does it mean that mine doesn't have that code?

Maybe yours was a full time four wheel drive. I know later years came that way.

I was wondering if that was the case. If that is the case, then at some point, some previous owner put manual hubs on it because that's what it has now.

Crap! I thought I put this on here 3 years ago, but guess I didn't. Here's my Jimmy.

Locking hubs were available as a factory option, dealer accessory, and aftermarket. Absence on the SPID means it was shipped from GM without them - in your case the hubs were engaged by flanges 24/7.

Here are all four of mine.

Hey Mike
still above ground, so any day I get out of bed is still a good day. Still have all of them Except the blue one ( parted) have been tinkering with the green one last month or so. The 2 post lift makes life so much easier but I still cant work very long before the neck gives out.

68panelman · 10-24-2014, 07:17 PM

Yea, I dream of the day of owning a 2 post lift. Injuries are a plenty here also. Glad you doing the same as the rest of us. Lol!!!

**richard2717** · 10-24-2014, 09:57 PM

I don't think the full time hubs came in until after 72. Not sure if 73 was 1st year but my next door neighbor had a 76 that was. I would have thought it would be on all the 4x4 spids 72 and lower.

Furthermore, the 205 case and the Dana 20 case have a 2 wd position, the full time trucks 73 and up did not

**richard2717** · 10-25-2014, 09:45 AM

Pete,
Good to know. I was under assumption none were full time until after 72'.
Have you ever seen one without the locking hubs? I would be interested in seeing a picture as I have never run across one.

Hi Richard - I was perplexed about this once upon a time so posted this thread here: http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=458491

The post has pics of a pickup without the front locking hubs. I haven't seen a Blazer so equipped yet. Seems like most had the locking hubs added over time.

68panelman · 10-25-2014, 11:04 AM

Not to hi-jack, But does anyone have a pic of a 1/2 ton drive flange?, I thought it was only a 3/4 ton thing.

Would like to know as well...I just assumed that without optional manual locking hubs the K5 would have flanges like my K20 did but have never seen an example...

underliner6 · 10-25-2014, 02:57 PM

Here is my Blazer's SPID. Some nice options.

SS Tim · 10-25-2014, 06:43 PM

Locking Hubs were of course optional.
The D44 axle used a hub cap (literally) to cover the end of the wheel hub enclosing the drive flange/drive gear and axle snap ring.
Here are some clips from the 68 and 72 service manuals to put a little perspective on it.
The caps should be nearly if not identical to the caps used on Full-Time/NP203 square bodies (pictured). The drive flange is something I'd need to dig for to find a picture. Just about any part-time conversion article for a NP203 1/2 ton ride should have pictures of the flanges.

No its a complete joke.
The only thing that MIGHT be correct is the VIN
CE141B631761. Even the wheelbase is suspect considering the model number is a 3/4 fleetside with a typo. All bets are off that they even had an original SPID in front of them while typing this mess.

Being as this describes a pickup was it on a Blazer?
There are specific threads for Pickups and Subs/Panels too.

This is listed on Craig's List in the Dallas, TX area. 1971 super C10, not a Blazer.
