Question:

What axles came in 1982 chevy k1500 4x4?the dana 44, 60 or something else?

just wondering what axles came in truck? Front and rear combinations?

Answer:

Depends on the auto the tires are installed on, type of toyo tires purchased usage. Intstalled a set of toyo touring tires in '93 on an '88 jeep cherokee 16 rims. Replaced after 80k. Rotated every7k mi. Front end alignment checked within every 6 mos. Vehicle coasted unbelievably on smooth surfaces, thus improving gas mileage. Installed sumitomo tires on '95 mazda 17 rims replaced after 82k. Rotation every 7500mi. Alignment on front rear checked within every 6mos. Textile increase made it improbable to replace with like tires on both. Went to michlein. Sumitomo toyo hard rubber. Smoother ride, better gas milage, shorter stopping distance, definitely better cornering in curbs at higher speeds.

Dana 60 front axles are fantastically costly, like a grand or extra. Stuff in a sparkling ring and pinion on your Dana 40 4, destroy it in exact and you may get yet another 25 years out of that rp.
The front is a Dana 60 and there was an option for an Eaton G80, or a 4-speed Turbo Hydra-Matic 700R4 transmission with overdrive was available in 1981 for the 1982 for the K series rear.
A 1/2 ton would have a 10 bolt front. A 3/4 ton could have A 10 Bolt front, or a Dana 44. A 1 ton had a Dana 60 front. For a rear axle, the GM 14 bolt is one of the best axle ever put in a truck. The 14 / semi floater was a good axlea 14 bolt Full floater is the best in a truck. (axle shafts are bolted in there is an extra pinion support bearing).
