Did GM use Spicer parts from the factory?

[Truck82]

As the title asks, did GM use Spicer axle shafts on the 10 bolt front end from the factory or is that aftermarket only?
If anyone knows anything about it, it would be greatly appreciated. I couldn’t fine anything on the internet.
Thank you all in advance!

Yes. Also, my factory locking hubs are spicer branded on my '80 K25 with a 10 bolt front axle.

Spicer "parts" ? Yep, lots of them too.

Spicer = Dana so...

All of the '78-ish and older 1/2 and 3/4 ton trucks, Blazers & Subs had Dana 44 axles.

All '77+ 1 ton trucks had a Dana 60 front axle.

All pick up dually trucks used a Dana 70HD rear axle.

Spicer also manufactures and/or distributes many other parts used on these trucks depending on the year and/or model - transfer cases, locking hubs, etc.

Thanks for the information. The truck had a lift and some other aftermarket stuff so I wasn’t sure what was stock on the axle

Post up what the truck is and we can tell you what would have been in it stock. We can also help identify what you have now, if needed.
