Re: Eaton HO72/HO52 vs. 14 Bolt FF
Has anyone swapped a H072 from a 1965 C-30 to a 1967 C-30 Cab and Chassis?

I would think it should be a direct swap. Personally I would go with either a 14 bolt or a Dana 60 or 70 before I would bother with a Eaton HO52/72.

Re: Eaton HO72/HO52 vs. 14 Bolt FF
Just got a measurement on both.
It’s 47” plate to plate on my 67 and 46” on the other. |
Re: Eaton HO72/HO52 vs. 14 Bolt FF
That is not an accurate to measure a differential's width. You must measure WMS to WMS (Wheel mounting surface). That is the dimension that matters. Not all brakes are the same width and not all backing plates are the same.

After Re measuring the backing plates they are the same. Yes I need to pull the wheels off mine to get a good measure. I think I will just get the pumpkin out and let the rest go. Thanks for your help. |

I have a 14 bolt waiting in the wing. It is funny how this stuff happens. I was walking thru the pick a part and this one jumped out in front of me. I will probably just get the pumpkin out of it. The whole thing may follow me home:) |

I came home with just the chunk. Here is my Numbers I have to share maybe some helpful info someone could use later. The H072 rear axle I pulled the chuck from today was a 36/8 tooth (4.5 ratio). It is anybody's guess if it was original. The vin tag was Gone so No id but(from what I had to go by) it was 64-66 Chevy C-30 with 6 cyl. and sm465 with parking brake on the rear of the trans. The main info I found out is that the axle housing would be a direct swap to my 67 cab and chassis C-30. The measurement to the center of each spring perch is 40". Both trucks have 2 1/2" wide springs. From the same Pick a part 6 months ago. There was a 71 GMC 2wd V8 Fleet-side truck (Flint plant). I pulled the chunk from it was 32/8 tooth (4.0 ratio). this is the one I will use in my truck. I also bought the doors from this truck. It still had the Blue I.D. sticker on the door. In the 5th spot was an O or 0. I looked at the Vin decoder that bruceman1968 has on this site. Attachment 1795607 This makes me think that the O was maybe for that 4:11 ratio rear chuck. Hope this info helps someone. |

Re: Eaton HO72/HO52 vs. 14 Bolt FF
Did it have a stack of shims between the Pinion housing and Rear-end case?

I have 3 of these Rear Chucks. I have not disassembly any of them except for removing that one bolt to get a measurement. I hope I can help you with this problem. Are you familiar with how to set the ring and pinion back lash with Persion blue? |

Re: Eaton HO72/HO52 vs. 14 Bolt FF
That is why this Forum is so good.
I will try to find the link you need to look at. The Adjustment for this issue is right behind the pinion bolts on the drivers side(I Think}. But let me look at my spare chucks tomorrow and see. Maybe some one that has Rebuilt one of these will chime in. I like this type of rear end because once you get the chuck set up it is a push in and bolt up deal. |

Re: Eaton HO72/HO52 vs. 14 Bolt FF
step 8 may be of assistance here as well as lots of useful HO52/HO72 info..
https://www.stovebolt.com/techtips/a...Ton%20Upgrade/ I think you're referencing the load bolt on the exterior that is only on HO72 I believe.. I have a non locker HO52 in my K20 burb and a donor HO72 locker I plan to swap in.. both 4.10 ratio so planning to just swap third members and move on.. sorry but that's about all I've got, good luck! |
Re: Eaton HO72/HO52 vs. 14 Bolt FF
This is the link I was looking for.
http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=714492 Hope this helps to give you ideas. Search the Web for ring and pinion depth. That sounds to be your issue. |

http://www.quad4x4.com/catalog/categ...-1972#cat_2846 if it were me, I'd consult Anaheim gear [local to me] and either pay a few bucks for a professional bench setup or ask for some free advice and drop off a couple of twelvers.. there's more info out there including factory repair manuals as well that could be consulted for proper procedures.. I just haven't gone that far since both of mine are in good order not requiring disassembly as far as I can tell at this point.. pirate4x4.com has a lot of threads on the subject but tread carefully there.. loosely moderated and you'll have to sort the fly poop from the pepper.. if I turn up any info I'll gladly share, good luck! |

Re: Eaton HO72/HO52 vs. 14 Bolt FF
Good choice.
This way you will also have more light on the subject. Have you purchased any Persian blue to check your pinion depth? |

Re: Eaton HO72/HO52 vs. 14 Bolt FF
So I pulled the cover and to be dumbfounded. Nothing seems out of place... no locker 😥 but both axles are spinning with the ring and pinion. But where I'm stumped is when it was under the truck, I could only move the pinion 2 inches total. When on jack stands I can spin it for ever no locking no funny business.

when you was holding the pinion and moving the ring-gear / That appears to be way to much backlash (Slop) it should only have a few thousandths (0.008 to 0.010) thousandths of an inch. |

I haven't moved the adjustment lock tabs at all sense I've owned the truck. |

The Pinion housing was removed thou(right). If so this could change things. Pinion depth and the ring gear pressure against the ring go hand in hand. Maybe you got lucky and the pinion is put back just like it came out. |
