Howdy all,
I have an 84 C20 camper special- formerly a 6.2l ‘diesel’ engine- now a 305 small block- so I have been told. I think it has a Turbo 400 AT.
OEM came with an Eaton? LSD, apparently this rear end grenaded one winter down in Anchorage and was replaced with an open diff, due to time constraints and parts availability. This info is from the previous owner’s recollection, not at the same time as the engine was replaced but sometime after.
I am looking for replacement options, like a complete rear end preferably an earlier 75-80’ vintage rear end, that I can put a Nitro Helix or a Torsten diff into while refurbishing the entire rear axle seals and bearings,(lots of river crossings in it’s previous life- already replaced all the bearings and races up front). Easier to just swap the entire rear axle given the location.
Any input is welcome. Thanks
