Can anyone ID this axle? Spring under, full width, 5 lug.

I would guess Dana 35

Buddy mine bought a 71 Demon and this was under it for a roller. We were just trying to figure what it is.

Bet its a chrysler 8.25. Makes sense with the rubber fill plug

Aren't 8 3/4 Chryslers pull out diff housings like Ford 9" and Toyota's? The car came stock with the 8 3/4" from the factory, but this is something stuck under the car just to get it on the trailer. The spring perches are too wide for the Demons leaf springs.

Yep, I have regeared many old Mopar 8 3/4's. Definately a Dana/Spicer rear pictured here. I would say an older J truck 44 rear, except it's spring under...
Looks like an old Dana 44 rear to me.

Yeah I was thinking early 44, doesn' t match most 44' s I've seen, but.....

8.25. Not 8.75. Yes the 8.75 is a drop out. Bit the 8.25 was around in that era also. But the more i look at it. It is n not an 8.25

CJ rear 44?

 

[flatbedtoy]

60" backplate to backplate

 

[MarsFab]

The perches look angled in towards the front. That suggest that it is a car rear end to me.

 

[levellinebrad]

Borg Warner M78. Came in 88 to 92 camaros

 

[ol'Jeeps]

The perches appear to be angled like truck arm perches. 60s Chevy truck or full size Chevy, perhaps?

Do the perches look like this?

Looks a lot like the 7.25 Mopar at the top here, dont it? Only 9 bolt axle I have ever seen!

But
Demons had straight leafs

 

[C.Berry]

Damn know where any more DEMONS might possibly be????
Pm me if you have any leads man would be greatly appreciated!

 

[BUCKEYE PERFORMANCE INC.]

late 60's chevy truck.
very rare d44 that was offered with some kind of camper,towing package or canadian models.
i have never laid eyes on one just heard tell of one from an elder.

 

[flatbedtoy]

The spring perches are straight, I guess they look a little distorted in the picture. The thing is pretty much a boat anchor, but no one seems to know exactly what it is. I'm thinking Novacayne75 might be on right track, a local guy said he thought early production 44. The yard it came from is all "old iron".

 

[sam24th]

I think thats a borg warner M78 also. I had a third gen firebird and remember the rear axle looking like this. It had 9 bolts like the one pictured.

The day we got her to his shop, not much work done yet.

The twisted perches should be a giveaway as GM. But that's not gosple.... I'v changed a Mopar 8 1/4 and that's deffinately not one. So you can rule that one out.
