axle identification

[rockreeper]

I have just recently bought a 80 series front axle. The axle that i bought didnt have a third member or calipers. I was wondering if there is anything to look for as to identify with year it is from. It has the 8" third member housing and doesnt look like its notched for the e-locked third, it also doesnt have abs if that matters.
thanx,
Andy

if it does not have the holes in the knuckles for ABS, then it is definately a '91-92 axle and definately did not have an e-locker as they were not an option until '93

It could also be a 93-94 without ABS. They exist but are rare.

What, exactly, is present?

It is the whole axle minus the calipers and third. It also came with the control arms/links. Just need to figure out which calipers to get at work and also which third for the axle that will be going into my 40
