Axel ID

[sermis]

I got these axels in a parts trade. I was told that they were CUCV's. I can't find numbers other than in the webbing on the center chunk.
Might put them under the M725 to help with milage.
Any idea if they are CUCV's?

CUCV M1008s have drum brakes on rear. Calipers look kind of "Chryslerish read Dodge" to me. But at my age the memory provides slow recall and fuzzy images.

I did not ask if he added the disk brakes or not. I know the steering arms on the front were added. It has the plate to put the tie rod on top ot on bottom of the arms.

14 bolt rear, Dana 60 front . Probably CUCV but if not Civy K-30 stuff. Nice haul! 60F are worth some jack.

If I'm not sadly mistaken, it looks like they've already been under an M715. The rear spring perches are all the way outboard and the front is spring-under. Either way that's an awesome haul! D60 front with a crossover setup and a disc braked 14bolt rear! There should be a plain 60 at the bottom right corner of the front diff. Also it looks like he included an extra steering arm in case you want to do hi-steer. If you have no use for the crossover you can definitely sell that and make a few bucks.

They were under a M715. He moved the spring mounts on the front to under the frame so I will have to redo the front perches but back should be set right.

NICE! Disc brakes too!

Bummer, no e-brake cable atachement.
Here are the nubers I found on the axel.

Is that the front or the back?


The rear is definitely a GM 14FF that someone has converted over to disc brakes. If the calipers are from a 70's Cadillac El Dorado you should be able to run an e-brake. However they can also be done with GM 3/4 ton front disc components which are cheaper and more common but which results in no e-brake.
Front looks like my Dana 60 only converted to SUA.

Numbers are from rear.

The rear 14-bolt will have a locker. If no locker then it isn't likely a CUCV.

If they did enough to put disc brakes on it they might have put a Detroit and deep gears in it as well.
