WANTED in Midwest; 4.10 Corp/Eaton center section - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

da-burb · 05-12-2003, 10:05 PM

I am looking for the drop out center section for a 7200# axle. This is going into my C30 motorhome. It only has 51,000 miles on it but appears to have suffered from neglect. The ring gear is covered with rust pits. It has probably been this way for the last 20 years. It doesn't appear to be making any noise so I don't need to do something about it right away. Just looking for a little insurance to sit on the shelf. Now I have to look into the 5200 vs 7200 Corp deal and make sure I am not putting something light weight under this beast. I don't think shipping is an option, so it will have to be limited to the Midwestern states of MN, SD, ND, IA, WI or posibly Ontario

Email me here da-burb or reply to this if you have something.

Pretty easy to find around here. Usually around $75-100 will get you one. Make sure you get one with the "ring gear deflection snubber". It is an external screw & jamb nut on the left outside of the case. It has a pad on the inside that rubs on the ring gear under severe load ( like when you try to get the motorhome to do a wheelstand) hee hee! Some have it, some don't.

I have a 4.10 gear set out of an HO52 that has a good wear pattern, but no drop-out third member. I'm still using it!
