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

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.

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

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

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
