Please help i.d. my front axle

Just bought a T bucket with what the po told me is a 1950's GM pick up axle. I found this number on it: 3833377GM8 If anyone can tell me what year pick up that's from I'd appreciate it, or at least point me to a source where I can find that info or tell me what to look for on the axle to i.d. it. Thanks.

 

A picture would do the trick pretty quick.

 

Now why didn't I think of that?

 

Looks like a Chevy truck axle. HRP

 

That number doesn't show up as a pickup axle from 57 or earlier. Probably a 60's vintage G series van axle.

 

The steering arm does not look like anything 49 thru 54 truck to me anyway a little better picture would be more helpful.

 

Does it have 6 bolt wheels?

 

I am running a 1967 G van and its number is 3892504GM13

Thanks for everyone's help. I'm not 100% sure, but it seems that it is a '60's GM van.

 

It looks like GM van to me.
