I know nothing about rear axles. However, I like to see documentation, if it is available.
PDF of 1962 K10 C10 P10 axles JPG of 1962 K10 C10 P10 axles The makes of the axles are not shown (I think).
I know Denny was looking for documentation (he and I like to hear/read anecdotes and recollections and opinions, but if you are looking for parts, documents are nice).
Is the information at the links above pertinent to this discussion? If not, I'll delete this post.
Specifications Manuals are available at the GM Heritage website. I'll look in other years, if that might be helpful.
