George,
Thanks for the images. Yes that sure does look like the Eaton "banjo" axle used on all of the WW2 Chevys and many of the WW2 GMC's. For years I had thought that NAPCO sourced GI parts on the larger truck conversions. Very cool that your truck still has the NAPCO badging on the axle. I would figure that the transfer case is also GM military as the front axle turns the opposite direction than most front drive axles. As a diehard gear head, I and others would love to see some images of the transfer case and the rear axle...if you would be so kind to share. Does your truck have the 6 stud centered bud style wheels?
Yes that steering knuckle service job is a messy task. Ever notice that very few guys stop to take pictures of that part of a build?, they are way too greasy to handle the camera.
Thanks again for sharing.
Paul
