19 spline deuce shafts/locker???

[m37dsl]

I came across some odd 2.5 ton top loader shafts/locker today. The axles thes shafts came out of were in a fire truck with super singles on it. Has anyone seen these shafts/locker in a top loading 2.5 ton before? I searched a bit and the locker is available for f106 and other front loader rocks but i have never seen them in a top loader. Shafts are 1.75" 19 spline with what appears to be a detroit locker in the center chunk.

I believe they were used in marine corp rigs, does anyone have any idea if they are aftermarket or built specifically for certain vehicles?

I think the V100 used lockers.

You need to pull the front drive cap and see if it is 19 spline? These axles are rare as chicken lips with matching dentures. I have a complete rear set, looking for a front set. The V100 does not have the bushing in the spindle like the std. 2 1/2 ton. The bushing is in the housing on the inner axle.

Ill check the front axle today.

Front axle has the big shafts also and seems locked.

Were these axles only used in v100s? I was told by who i got them from that they came out of a firetruck. What is the interest in them, are the stronger than stock u-joint shafts or britle? Anybody out there have any experience with them? With a detroit in the front i would think steering would be terrible.

I have heard storys in tanker trucks and now fire trucks, V100 armered cars for sure. Yes these axles are stronger than the stock 1 5/8" 16 spline, the U joint is the same. And yes it will be hard to steer.
