Here's a big thread on the Pirate 4x4 board on the Eaton rears. http://www.pirate4x4.com/forum/chevy/771317-eaton-h072.html

A '69 and a '52 should both be the HO-72, and should directly interchange if they are. (At some later point a Dana rear was an option IIRC, but it won't look anything like the Eaton)

As with the thread on the pirate board, I don't think the 4.10 gears are hard to find at all. Most of the later trucks seem to have them.


Some of my crap:
1963 C-30 flatbed dually 292/SM420
1965 C-10 LWB fleet 250/column shift 3 speed
1965 C-30 9' stepside 250/SM420/4.10 gears (my DD)
