There are three axles: Split, Banjo-GMC, Banjo-Chev
Split axles: looks like two funnels bolted together over the ring gear.
About 1/2 of
CCKWs had these
Rear brakes the same as on Chev/banjo CCKW
Banjo: Have tic-tac-toe cover, used 100% on WW2 Chevrolets and about 1/2 of
the CCKWs
Front axle the same on Chev and CCKW except for U-joint yoke and steering
ball
Rear axles are different due to hub/flange diameter and axle housing
mounting
Gear carriers (chuck) are interchangeable except for yoke.
Brakes the same on both
Hope this helps
