Need axles for 1962 half-ton Chevrolet truck - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I have been trying for a week to find the right and left axles for my 1962 Chevrolet C-10 half-ton pickup. All 1962 half-ton C-10 engine sizes have the same axles. Current set has been damaged by worn axle bearings which wore a shallow, somewhat pitted groove into the shaft causing unaceptable noise. I have new bearings and seals, so all I need is a couple of good axles. The axles have 17 splines and are 30 1/8 inch long, button end to surface of flange, for the left axle, and 31 1/8 inch for the right axle. The flange has six tire studs. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Any of the aftermarket axle companies will sell you a set of new ones. Strange comes to mind right off.

Before '63 it was the Eaton rear, kinda of an oddball rear end. Brian

I've got an entire stock 62 rear end I'd be willing to sell you cheap... It's been down for about 5 years, but I don't remember and noise from the rear, so I'd bet it's OK... See my post under "Parting 62 project"

Thanks to all who responded. I was able to get the axles by contacting Tom Myers.

Thanks for the offer. Since posting, I did find two axles. But if I need any more reae end parts parts, or the axles aren't good enough, I will get in touch with you.
