is this a M1008 Dana rear axle?

[builder77sDad]

Hi fellows,

I am trying to sell some of Ethan's items, and today am focusing on axles. I think this is a M1008 rear axle. Is it also termed a Dana something? This is an unused axle, still attached to what is left of it's shipping box. Is $600 a good starting price for an eBay auction?

It is a GM Corporate 14 bolt full floater. If it is out of a CUCV M1008 it will also have a Detroit Locker in it. Good ENDING price for eBay would be $300-400.

That looks to be a Dana 70......take a shot of the diff cover, but I'd bet it's a dana 70, worth a bit more than a GM 14 bolt....

Dana 70 from a Dually from the look of those drums, but I could be wrong.

This photo might help clarify its identity.

Need a shot of the back, opposite of that shot, on the back of the housing there should be a 70 stamped. Unless someone here can look up the part number. But I'm positive it's a Dana 70

It's a GM 14 bolt.

If you get a pic of the cover it will end the debate. But it looks like any other GM 14FF I've seen before from those pics.

I'm betting 14 bolt.

No debate at all, it's a 14 bolt. Bet my wrecker on it.

 

[AJMBLAZER]

The more I look at it the more I think it's a 14 FF. The peak at the top of the housing looks like a 14FF and those gimundic drum brakes sure look like Big Ugly's.

Im with kenny. if not ill store your wrecker kenny .. but im still with everyone 14 bolt

A shot of the diff cover will clarify, but I think it's a 14 bolt as well. They're not terribly valuable. Generally they'll go for $100, but with the 4.56s and the Detroit, the price should go up to about $300 probably.

 

[AJMBLAZER]

To me...my own two cents adjusted for inflation...it's new, never been used, likely in 100% condition AND then it has the 4.56's and a Detroit...it'd be worth more than $300. A rebuild kit and gears alone are worth that much. Last I saw the Detroit was over $400. Just gotta sell it right.

I don't know if these will help. I couldn't see any other codes than show in the photos.

The bolt on pinion housing gives it away as a 14 bolt.

Guess I'll be keeping my wrecker!

RE: more photos of rear axle

I recently bought a nos (new old stock) dana 60 from Sam Wiener moters for about 1k including shipping. Considering the truck I got it for needed a rear brake job, and a new differential, I figure it was a good deal.. The new brake drums alone on the thing cost over 600 at an auto parts store. The axel seals on these should be replaced. But they come ready to go including parking brake cables. This is a cucv axel with locker.

So you bought a Corporate 14 bolt FF then? The Dana 60 is under the front and the 14FF is in the rear. The dually 1028's got a Dana 70 in the rear.

Dodge M880 series did have a Dana 60 in the rear.
