Help me ID some stuff.

[broncoman6524]

Cleaned the backyard due to my sis gettin a horse.

All this came from a 51 suburban that was CONVERTED to 4wd. So its all Gm i think.

1. front axle.

2. Rear axle, Eaton 14b possibly?

3. Manual tranny, 4spd granny gear

4. T-case

Any help would be appreciated, the axles have 4.10s in them and im trying to figure out if it would be cheaper to clean them up and go through them. Or just regear my 10b's

thnx chris

front axle kinda looks like my dana 44, but wheres the brakes? best thing i can suggest is look for the id numbers on them (should be stamped on them) and cant remeber the site but u can type in the numbers and get what they are. they look kinda ruff. what are u gona put them on?

SM 420 for the tranny ?

 

[broncoman6524]

the brakes are in the shop. apparently my dad pulled them? I dunno i was thinking about puttin the axles under my blazer after i went throught them. I dunno bout the tranny and T-case.

the sm420 has almost a 7 to 1 first gear and is i believe the lowest geared stock tranny...good for a crawlin rig.
Www.novak-adapt.com has good info on that tranny and a chart to properly identify

looks like the ball and cup front knuckles, not very highly desired

That looks like old Napco stuff to me. Front axle is Napco which is built from the old GM corporate axles (like the rear axle you have there). The rear is an old corporate half ton unit, it is a cousin of the "Eaton" axles (but smaller). That is an HO33, the half ton axle that was used prior to the introduction of the 12 bolt. The transfer case looks like what was used with the Napco conversions also. It should have a Napco tag on it.

I've never seen a D44 that has a drop out center section before

that is a NAPCO axle. the rear is a semifloating Eaton. I would suggest trying to sell them to the restoring crowd, and steer clear of using them in your rig.

Definitely NOT high strength stuff. However, as atho said, original NAPCO stuff is probably highly coveted by the restoration crowd.

Here are a couple of NAPCO sites that I have bookmarked:

napco = big money to colectors and resto guys.
