Do any of you know where to axle tube seals for front corporate 10-bolts. Not any of the seals on or in the hub but the seal where the axle actually enters the axle tube. I've checked Auto Zone, O'Reileys and Pep Boys for them but the keep finding only the seals for the hubs. Do I have to go to the GMC dealership and pay $30 for each one? Hope you guys can help. Oh yeah, I did search for this. Thnx.

The only seals inside the tubes are next to the carrier. And the carrier has to be removed to change them. The only other "seals" are on the stub shaft and keep debris from getting into the spindle needle bearings...

No, there are some 'seals' if that is what you want to call them that go between the yoke on the inner axle shafts and the tubes. They are generally made of some rubber or hard plastic and are there to keep some grime and dirt out of your tubes. I have never researched where to buy them but I will agree that they exist.
*edit*
Just went out and checked my axles. The half ton ten bolt had them but the 3/4 ton ten bolt did not. Both axles relatively stock as far as I know. GM did some weird things.
