Aside from pulling and axle, is there anything externally that identifies a GM 10 bolt front as 28 or 30 spline inner axle shaft ?
Thanks in advance for your replies.

Not that I'm aware of. Maybe the year it was built.

The GM 10 bolt front axle was available with 28 spline axle shafts up until 1988/early 89 and then had 30 spline axles till the end of production of the the solid axle trucks in 1991.
If no one swapped the axle or did a conversion to 30 spline axles shafts this should help.

x2.
90 and 91 should be 30 spline.
I'm looking for one of these in 6 lug form for my k5 now.
