I need some ID help. This axle is under a parts truck I have, just wondering what the heck it is. Thanks!

Any tag on it anywhere?

looks like an 8 1/4 diff to me must be a light 1/2 ton

Bigs, I didnt really find any ID on it.

Thanks Katfish, I have that pic somewhere too, I just couldnt find it.

Judging by what Katfish posted, it looks like a 7.25

Not worth much I suppose. Scrap?

Oh, I forgot to say that the cover isnt ovular on the back like on the 8.25 posted. It is square with those angles coming down.

I'm surprised they would put a 7.25" on a truck.

I'm not arguing here, I just find that odd.

The drivetrain has been all hacked already, so somebody easily have put it in there?

I vote for the 8 1/4, looks like the one I had in my '74 360 Duster.....................
