1987 GMC 3/4 Ton Truck Axle ID

Hello, I recently picked up a 1987 GMC 3/4 ton parts truck. I was wondering if anyone could help me to identify what axles these are, and what gear ratio they have. The front axle has dual shocks if that helps. The front axle has 10 bolts, and the rear has 14. Thanks

should be dana44 front and 14bolt rear

nope half wrong for this vintage .

corp 10 bolt front . note the ear tabs on the lower section of the diff .

and rear yes is 14bolt but its a semi floater axle 9.5" gear . not the big boy full floater 10.5" gear .

Thanks for the info. Still need to get parts for my other Blue 87 GMC, and now I can put the axles on Craigslist. Thanks again for the info
