Hey guys

I'm feel like asking this question is like fishing without any bait, but you guys have pulled some crazy shit out of nowhere before so here goes:

There is an old-old dodge in a yard near me. I think it's a pickup (all hacked up). Its mainly just a chassis and axles, engine is in the back I-6. I'm pretty sure it has rockwells. I can pick it up real cheap (read next to free) but I don't want to bring home more junk. The reason my info is so vague is i'm at school 400 miles away from home and I'm going on a 1 minute lookover of the vehicle. The owner said he wants to get rid of it and asked if I wanted it. Could the axles be rockwells or am I full of poo?

TIA

Not stock...how old is the dodge? even any ideas...like 50s, 60s, etc. try to find a pic of what it looks like on google image search.

I'm researching now, Offset rear diff comes to mind too
definately a 4x4

maybe...

Square grill, dodge badge right out front and center

Not toploader rockwells but a lighter duty rockwell. 1 1/2 ton I think. Coolest thing about these trucks was the crunchy muncie 4 speed with a 7.20 first gear. Any engine with a overhead valve will snap the longer axle in either diff.

nice so i'm not making this shit up huh?

That's a civilian Dodge Power Wagon. Should be 5 lug, 3/4 ton.

The actual truck may be different from the picture. That pic was the closest thing I could find just working from memory. I'm trying to find more info on the 1 1/2 ton rockwells. Are they any good? I think the offset rear diff would be cool but they have to be pretty damn beefy for my next rig.

If it's a Dodge, I doubt seriously if it has Rockwells. You need to look under an M35 6x6 to find a set of Rocks. If it's not at least 2 1/2 ton, chances are you are looking at a normal axle. If you are looking for Rocks, get the top drive ones and not the older, conventional style found under the old Reo 6x6s. Just because it's an M35, doesn't mean it will have the good axles. The older axles have some issues with the front axle, and you must use the transfer that goes with them. Be aware that they are going to be extremely low geared, and different ratios are not exactly easy to find, if they are out there at all. If you aren't looking at a
