The Big Score

[soleeagle]

The other day I ran into an old freind. We got to talking about our vehicles and I had told him I was looking to fine a set of 3/4 ton axles. He told me that he had a truck with a busted tranny and trasfer case sitting in his yard. I ask him what he wanted for it and his reply was, "If I could find some one to pull the motor out of it they could just have the rest of the truck". I told him I was his guy and today we pulled it to the shop and went to work. In about 45 minutes I had the motor out. I Got the axles out tonight ad found that they have 4:10 gears in them. I do have a question, how do I tell the difference from a 3/4 ton and a 1 ton rear? The brake drums just look a little big to be 3/4 to me. I am guessing that it is a GM 14 bolt but not sure how to tell the difference. It does have 14 bolts around the cover and the penion bolts in from the front too. If any one could help I would appreciate it. I took pics with my phone but it wont let me send them for some reason.
