It also has the threaded fill plug in the rear cover.

Looks like this, right? This is my '88 C3500 SRW.

Yes, just like that one. Thanks. Anything I should know about them?
They're NOT the piece-of-crap "10-bolt" used on 1500s.
Stronger than the 14-bolt, but harder to find parts for. Same 8-lug bolt pattern.

Ok, thanks for the info. I was worried at first when I saw 10 bolts but I knew it wasn’t a 1/2 ton rear. Any recommendations on lube? I know it’s pre-synthetic but??

Welp, that was a bust. Turns out one of the axle tubes has rotted right through where the U-bolt pad was. I've heard of that happening, have never seen it. There's a first time for everything I guess. Here's hoping that place will refund my dough..

Someone here just went through that. If it's not terrible it could be repaired. I've lost track, is this a 9.5" 14 bolt SF you've found? If so, it's very likely worth repairing. If it's an 8.5" 10 bolt, ehhhh, tough call.
