Hi brains truss

We have recovered this diff but we dont know what its out of.

It looks like chev blitz but only six stud and the shock mounts look different.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks
Matt

The six stud configuration is usually on the 8cwt vehicles, since the axle looks more Chev than Ford I would say most likely C8A HUP series or maybe C8AX since you are in the part of the world where the C8AX were concentrated.

Thanks Grant
I dont know much about trucks but we thought it was worth saving from the rubbish tip.

Kind regards
Matt

I think Grant has hit the nail on the head with C8AX
I am sure someone will appreciate a rim as they are a bit scarce

Hi Andrew

I think your right, the rims are the most intresting part.....I/we may swap for some english carrier bits if any one is intrested send me a PM.
Kind regards to all.

The spring and shock mounts, handbrake cables, and lack of removable diff plate are all typical of these little beasties.
