Re: I need help identifying my axles.

The front is a Dana44...It looks like a closed knuckle/drum brake
The rear is an HO52

Yep the front is a Dana 44 closed knuckle, all 67-68 3/4 tons I've seen are closed knuckle. It looks like only 67 1/2 tons are closed, 68's are open. The rear is what I beleive is commonly called an Eaton or maybe even a corporate.

Re: I need help identifying my axles.

Open knuckle was not available until 1970 with drum and disc.
