However, the 10.5" 14-bolt axle remains in production today, specifically utilized in GMC Savana and Chevrolet Express vans. Notably, the 11.5" 14-bolt axle is featured in third-generation Dodge Ram 2500 and 3500 trucks. There are discernible differences between the GM and Ram versions, evident in the gaskets used and the axle cover designs.
The torque tube consists of a large diameter stationary housing between the transmission and rear end that fully encloses a rotating tubular steel or small-diameter solid drive shaft (known colloquially in the U.S. as a "rope drive" [1]) that transmits the power of the engine to a regular or limited-slip differential.

The Dana/Spicer Model 80 is an automotive axle manufactured by Dana Holding Corporation and has been used in OEM heavy duty applications by Chevrolet, Dodge, and Ford.It can be identified by its straight axle tubes, 10 bolt asymmetrical cover, and a "80" cast into the housing.

De Dion rear axle. A de Dion axle is a form of non-independent automobile suspension. It is a considerable improvement over the swing axle, Hotchkiss drive, or live axle. [1] Because it plays no part in transmitting power to the drive wheels, it is sometimes called a "dead axle". [2]
Axle shaft diameter 1.41” Front (32 spline) 1.46” Rear (32 spline) 1.50” Front (35 spline) 1.50” Rear (35 spline) Inner axle shaft splines: 16, 23, 30, 32, 33 or 35 Aftermarket inner axle shaft splines: 40 for after market, high performance axles, equivalent to Dana 70 components; Pinion shaft diameter: 1.625" Pinion shaft splines: 10 or 29
When the front hubs are locked, even if no power is sent to the front axle (by means of a transfer case), the turning of the wheels will still spin the front axle, differential, and driveshaft, which puts extra load on the engine. Unlocking the hubs disconnects the wheels from the axle, which eliminates this extra load.
An axle truss is typically a six-millimeter thick steel plate bent into a "Π"-shaped beam and welded with the open side facing the top of the differential or axle housing. It reinforces a solid axle so that it does not bend or break when the axle's load rating is exceeded. [4] A larger/thicker axle is stronger, but also comes with increased ...
