M38A1CDN2 and CDN3 Axles

[Mike Baker]

All,

Would like to confirm something for my own sanity:

The pubs all indicate that the front axle on all M38CDN and M38A1CDN trucks was a Spicer (Dana) 25. But, production of the Spicer 25 was discontinued in 1960 and it was replaced with the mostly-identical Spicer 27.

So the question is this: Do M38A1CDN2 and CDN3s, which were all produced after 1960, have a Spicer 25 or a Spicer 27 front axle?

Thanks in advance,

Mike
