G506 truck?

Post by bigcity09 »

hi my name i brent i have just bought what i beleve to be a G506 however its just a frame, axles, and transfercase. I am trying to find how to tell if it is a G506 the axles and transfercase had GM stamped allover it. i have taken the front axile apart and have some part numbers off the hub and pinion. The hub bolt patern is a 6 lug if that helps. i do have a tage on the rear axle but i have no idea if it means any thing. i want to find parts for the axles and transfercase. If any one has any idea as to what i have please let me know! i can take pics as well if that would help and try to find more part numbers. I found this truck in a farmers feild in northern minnesota.

I should correct that I found a plate on it dated to 1958 , I think its the date it was rebuilt.
