50's model Mil GMC's
it was a guess im not gonna lie
Rockwells ran top loaders and direct loaders, which is what you see in this pic:
5 tons have even ran them, too. They look exactly like the axles under semi-truck rears. A few old-school monster trucks ran them, namely Bearfoot trucks since they ran a Corvette differential stacked on top of the 5 ton axles.
The front steering axle in that pic, I have no clue what it is.

rear axle is hard to tell what it is, there are alot of medium duty trucks with rear ends that look like that one.
I've been seen rockwells on mack dumptrucks that are top loaders

Those are 1-1/2 ton axles out of the m715 military trucks.

They are a wide spread 5lug pattern most likely. Pretty damn stout.

Got me I'm not expert. The mud guys around here know all about those old military diffs. I asked about an ebay listing with very similar axles like that and thats what I was told.
If someone emailed boyce those pictures they could tell you in 2 seconds.
Wrong. Kaiser M715's got an old school Dana 60 in the front and a Dana 70 in the rear. Both with small, low spline shafts and the front with sealed knuckles and small u-joints. Neither are all that great.
These are obviously too big to be from a M715 anyways.

To me they look like some of the axles you see in the heavy duty 4x4 trucks, such as something like the International CXT as an example.
