If it is a diesel dump you would need to know if it is a cab and chassis truck or a pickup with a dump added. The reason for this is the axles will be different widths. If it is a pickup you can get a rear from any 350 or even 250 if you want but the cab and chassis trucks have a narrower rearend.
The frame widths are different also. You could measure the width of the frame from rail to rail and post it here and someone could tell you which truck you have.
Also with no rear sensor the auto tranny will not shift properly. Hopefully you have a manual.

In that case you will need to look for a Cab & Chassis rearend.
Iread somewhere on here where somebody bought one thinking it was a dually axle. Now they can't use it. It may have been a SD though.
If I were you I would start a new thread and title it "I Need a Cab and Chassis Rear axle".
Just a thought. You never know it may turn something up.

Moderators are getting pretty picky on the rules lately. You'll have to post that in the wanted section
I took a vacation for a joke thread, I'm sure they will be going after people miss posting a buy/sell/want thread.
People will see he's looking for it in here. Which I think is alright, he's not out right making a thread looking for it.

OK then I guess I would title it "suggestions on where to look for a cab/chassis rear axle needed".
Those axles are harder to find and help with places to start looking for them would help a fellow member which is what this place is about.

The fact that you took a vacation for a joke doesn't surprise me, considering they are getting stricter. I have seen some of your risque' jokes and was surprised you didn't get called to the office earlier. LOL
I think if a member is having problems then they should post it. Not necessarily as a WTB post just a help thread. If they can't ask for help then this place will be like PSN.

Yea. It is one of the reasons I've stayed here instead of going to PSN or other sites.
The only site where there is a lot of freedom is the site where all the banned members go. haha. So, you just deal with guys who are rude to everyone but the people in their "clique"
The reasons they sited me for getting my vacation were pretty sad though. I'll call you and tell you about it. haha.
