My guess is that they probably aren't NOS, just salvaged from military trucks. You can bid online for them. The 1 ton axles are more than likely 4.56 and the 10 bolt axles are 3.08 gears.

For some reason there are many spares floating around for the CUCV Chevy Blazer. I would not be surprised that they are true NOS parts. The Blazer CUCV always had a gear ratio of 3.08, and the 1.25 ton pick-up version CUCV had a gear ratio of 4.56.

I called this outfit awhile back asking about the 10 bolt posi rear axle assembly, the lady I spoke to said I need to talk to the boss who was not there and does not return phone calls.
This axle assy is the perfect setup if you plan on installing a 3speed od trans in your AD.
Good Luck on getting info from these folks.

NOT good for an od, 3.08 X .70 = 2.156. Regular 3 or 4 speed yes, but not a good rear for an overdrive.

I have to agree with Cosmo but add they would be great for a 3 or 4 speed automatic too. I have a '59 GMC 3.07 under my '56 with a TH400.
