Ken W. told me about this site(is he here? Anyone know him?), so I had to check it out...very cool. Anyway, I have a minor dilema in trying to find info for this axle. I tried the search, but came up empty handed. I'm weeks from picking up a 1952 GMC military duece and a half for free. I'm looking for any, and all, information I can get about the front axle on those. Best I can tell, it uses Eaton axles and has 6.17 gears - am I right? I think so.

What I'm looking for are any pictures that clearly show those front axles, and ANY information I can get about them....part numbers would be REAL nice to have, or maybe even the model number those axles were. I read in another message board that those front axle counter-rotate?? - is that right? Best I could tell by what the person said is that the diffs rotate the opposite direction a light duty truck's front axle does. Any truth to that?

Thanks for any help you guys can give me. I'll find the right forum to post about my bro's old '59 Apache
