| If everything is factory, the ID tag in the glove box should have the code. And replacing what you need finding the right part by vehicle is easy at a local repair store too. Just a thought.

| Regardless of the rear axle (probably a SF c clip 14 bolt anyway) the 1/2 ton truck with 6 lugs only used a 8.25" ring gear up front. This front diff was the only one available. Where are my manners? Welcome to the site......... |

Yes sir, SF stands for semi floating. This means that the axle shaft provides most of the support for the rear. This is a flanged axle, and the wheel lug nuts bolt directly to the axle shaft. This axle, while strong, is not quite the same as the other Full floating designs. | |
