Joined: May 2005 Posts: 8,878 | I don't really know.. but at first glance the hubs look like a Coleman hub, so could be that?
Not all Rockwell axles are top loaders, I have seen many Rockwell front axles like yours, not counting the hubs though.
Is there a tag on the inside of the glove box door? if so it should tell you lots if info about the different components of the drive-train.

It screams for an olive drab green paint job. | | | | | Joined: Feb 2008 Posts: 207 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Feb 2008 Posts: 207 | the tag says the transfer case is a Coleman but it says the axle is F090 but in another spot it says Coleman SD-9 ETC. i was thinking more black and silver but thats only after air conditioning. | | | | | Joined: May 2005 Posts: 8,878 . | | . Joined: May 2005 Posts: 8,878 | Either way it looks like you have Coleman front axle.
Does it give the axle ratio or ratios on the tag?
Grigg | | | | | Joined: Feb 2008 Posts: 207 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Feb 2008 Posts: 207 | the rears have a tag that says 7.20 so i think the front is the same | | | | | Joined: Dec 2004 Posts: 10 New Guy | | New Guy Joined: Dec 2004 Posts: 10 | Which rear axles do you have? I have a 62 W5000 NAPCO, it has Rockwell axles, HHDHDX2 for the front-rear and HHRHDX1 for the rear-rear. My front axle looks like it was built with an Eaton center section. Transfer case is a Rockwell.
