2. good explanation ,easy to understand and straight to the point, THANK YOU for the upload :-)
3. I've never heard of those squish-o-matic bearings, probably not a good design so it didn't last long.
4. Cool.
5. This is sweet my axles on my 73 3/4 ton can be pulled awesome video
6. I'm willing to bet, it would sink...

11. Well hell looks like you're a piece of shit Mr. 35' Chevy.  Pathetic piece of crap.  I'm going to get drunk now and slap you while I wish you were a 36'!
12. I think it's pretty amazing that this exact, identical rear axle design is still used on heavy-duty trucks, 80 years later.
13. Thanks Jam Handy.
14. 1.25
15. Chevy with the W since '36
16. 0_0 Removal of the shaft WITHOUT HAVING TO- JEEZ
    I wonder why this design was ditched- IMO modern tech could improve on the simple designs of the past
17. God damn, take my money
18. It''s not so easy getting the broken axle stub out.
19. this guy talks really slowly
20. 4:50 A) the guy carries extra axles along with his lunch pail? and B) if the axle breaks, how do you get the rest of the axle out of the housing without pulling the access cover?
