Can't be...that's a Dodge Van... :flipoff2: You can't put axles from a Ford under a Dodge! Are you NUTS? :flipoff2:
sweden 09-06-2002, 11:19 AM No ideas ? :)
Trick question. -I know exactly what kind of axle it is.
It's from a 50's Volvo 6x6 :)

It's much like a rockwell from the looks of it. I even thought that it was the same axle. But your doesnt have lockers (DUH).. From what i heard they looked on your stuff when they constructed it.
Every axle on all Swedish military vehicles are fully locked. (Except one, the volvo laplander who had dana44's and lammelldiff in the rear.)

Want axles :( (http://multimedia.campus.luth.se/offroad/volvo_934_axles.jpg)
MR4WD 09-06-2002, 11:27 AM I'd almost bet it used a rockwell center section, look at the assembly. It looks like a 2.5 ton housing with a 5 ton gear set.
MR4WD 09-06-2002, 11:46 AM But it's black though! Aren't rockwells black?
:flipoff2: :rolleyes:
No, I didn't mean 5 ton dropped into a 2.5 ton axle, I meant mass produced with "off the shelf parts" using different combinations. After comparing the two, it's obvious it's not rockwell; "Looks" like a 5-ton center chunk though.
At any rate, I'd like to know what years rockwell diffs were produced new? both 2.5ers and 5 toners....

Are you serious? Mr4WD scores again. :shaking: :flipoff2:
reddwarf 09-06-2002, 03:32 PM what's a "lammelldiff"?:confused:
sweden 09-06-2002, 03:56 PM Huhu, coulden't find the English word for it, it's some kind of limited slip based on discs bundled and torqued together..
Volvo laplander guys uses to put to rear into the front when it starts to slip and get a fresh one in the rear.
reddwarf 09-06-2002, 04:16 PM Sounds like a regular Posi-type limited slip.
RHINO 09-06-2002, 05:11 PM i know what those are, and i thought i read some time back on a euro web page about a guy who put mog portals on those centers.
do you know anything about that sweden??

you said it:(
sweden 12-05-2002, 05:04 PM Have been looking into buying a set of these swe rockwell lookalikes. -Checked with a finnish company that currently are fragmenting some leftover trucks and they wanted 250$ for a front and 200$ for a rear. Think i'm going for two fronts.
It's not settled just yet, but there might be pictures at the very least sometime in the future :)
Rockwells are not the most common things around my area :)
XtrmChevy 12-06-2002, 02:35 AM Yo! Finnish company? So what company would that be?
