Help with rear axle

I need help identifying my rear axle. I tried to look it up but my letters were nowhere to be found. These are from the axle tube.

TDE 0514W2

My mother in law said she remembered helping replace it. Just curious what it came out of. It has bolt on backing plates and the pumpkin has the mount the panhard bar bolts to. Its a 12 bolt 6 lug but it does have 30 spline axles. Non posi.

Thanks in advance

Bret

Re: Help with rear axle

Looks just like the one in my 66. Pretty much the same markings.

Re: Help with rear axle

The letter code TDE on the tube tells me its a 1970 C10 3:07 ratio , non posi rear. (That's IF no one has upgraded the gears internally). Prior to 1970 the letter codes were 2 letters and in 70 up 3 letters

Thanks so much. Ill have to verify the 3.07 as that may not work well with my 700r4
