Help to ID this GM axle

Can anyone ID this GM rear axle?

 

Some kind of Dana/spicer? How many bolts?

Dana44 with 10 bolts

 

Not a car rear

 

Definitely looks dana/spicer. Can't see clair enough on my phone but looks similar to a 44. The ribs on the housing are throwing me off but shout make it easier to identify

From the pictures sent to me..it has a 10 bolt cover...

I think it's a truck cover from looking at this link:

Not GM 10 bolt, more likely a Dana44. Look at the drain plug. It says Dana44 style

 

What's the bolt pattern?
Spacing between the vertical bolts isn't right for a 10 bolt

My guess woulf be an 80s jeep cherokee/xj dana 44. Would be 5x4.5 pattern unless shafts were replaced.

Edit

 

The pictures are all that were sent to me...guess it's a five lug wheel.

 

Good axle if it is a xj 44. Alloy shafts are easily found for dual pattern 5x4.5 and 5x5.5. Interchange with the jeep tj (97-06 wranlger) 44 shafts. Just need drum retainer which is very common.

My Dana 44 housing has those same ribs. Mine is out of a late 70's jeep with 6-lug wheels. They came either way 5-lug or 6-lug.

 

That rib above the tube centerline is what is getting me. Here is the xj 44. My knowledge off 44 is limited to xj/tj rear axles and fsj/tj and ford fronts which is only a few of the 44s made.

Thanks...That looks completely different,,here is a picture of GM axles...

 

I can tell you with a good confidence that the original pic doesn't look like a gm axle do to the diff cover. Ribs on the gms look parrallel and on the 44 they are angled towards the yoke and above/below the tube as they go back

Thanks...wish I had the axle in front of me for casting numbers etc. The GM stamped the axles on the passenger side tube...did the 44 do the same?

 

I think the did also. Unfortunately I'm limited to my rockcrawling days. Visual identification was more common then stampings. But we only use a handful of axles and the only gm is typically a full float 14 bolt.

Edit..iirc dana casts its model number in a webbing by the diff cover.

isuzu rodeo dana 44

 

If it is, it will have discs, and be 6-lug.

Looks an awful lot like my Dana 44.

 

Colorado Dana 44 is a 6 lug too

Good info here: http://manuals.forever-ink.com/Dana_BOM.pdf

The axle model number IS NOT always on the rib.

 

What is the bolt pattern for the wheels? Is it the original pattern? To the ends of the axles look like this:


Or this:


Nut in the middle, or no nut in the middle?

 

Looks like a Dana, probably a 44, which was used in about a billion different applications, from Checker cabs to GMC pickups and early T birds etc

not enough info in that pic to identify what it's out of...

 

WAG here....
