Guys,
Before putting the front axle on my 58 W100 back together I thought I would check and make sure the gear ratio matched the rear, as sombody swapped in a full floating corporate at some point in the trucks life.
Here are the numbers I got off the gears in the rear axle:
FORMATE 856122 489 DCPD (logo) 3645 419N38
The numbers off the front are:
7 19 57 DANA 18525 G1825 44-9
What gear ratio are the two axles?
Can they be used together? What year is the rear axle? I can guess the front is a 57.
Thanks for any help you can provide!
Eric
