rear help
 

so for the life of me i cant find any visual queues as to what rear i have,only info i got from previous owner was "1 ton chevy" it looks awfully similar to a dana 44 but its 8 lug and theres no drain plug as the identifier pics i found,i need to know because my inside right tire is SOAKED in gear oil so im assuming (correction please if wrong) my axel seal needs replacing,if idk the rear i cant find the parts,also the pumpkin is missing half the bolts and slowly leaking (nooo idea why they wouldnt replace the bolts) so need a size on those,when light breaks ill take a photo for you guys. thanks in advance

Pic?

Are you sure its the seal and not the wheel cylinder leaking?

Chevy used at least 3 one ton rears that I'm familiar with, 14 bolt (several versions), Dana 60 and Eaton. Post a pic and we'll let you know what you got and where to find the BOM so you can get parts.

also added a pic of the front axel,cant be stock,or is it? im new to the 'monster rigs' only had a 95 grand before,my last was a 88 ranger

the front isnt leaking thats power steering fluid on it that geysered out cause previous owner put the fill cap on crooked :thumbdown:

I'm pretty sure the rear axle is a 14 bolt. Not sure about the front.

thanks man iv been scratchin my head for 3 days now,i assumed the front was dana due to the identifier pics i found here,now to fix that axel seal before i go broke buyin gear oil

Hah! Beat me too it while I was researchin. Didnt mean to restate that it was a 14 bolt.

It looks like a d60. From a ford not a chevy though seeing how its a drivers drop vs passenger. The info on id'ing it is in one of the links I posted.

im positive its the axel seal because i check fluids daily and the rears the only thing iv had to refill,my brakes would be dry by now if it was the wheel cyl

thank you for the links i feel SO much better reading the info about it,seems very cheap to fix but also a brute of a rear,so i have a gm rear and a ford front? jeepenstein :tank:
