Hey guys. I have a 72 k5 with a 12 bolt with an eaton in it. The axle (oil) seals were leaking so I figured I would replace them. Now I'm no noob to building. Well i got the seals, pulled the shafts and found I had the wrong seals. went back to auto parts place and got another set. like a dummy i forgot to carry the old one with me!! wrong again. Any help as to what seal this is? The date on the diff casting is g281 whitch is july 28 71 right? nOh and it had the rubber in it it was jst crap so shown is only the metal housing
