R1050 rear end; KB1

Hello IHC-Land:

It appears that my 49 KB1 needs work done on the rear end, model R1050. Does anyone know of parts or a used axle/rear end?

Thanks,
Kevin

Hope someone speaks up to help, Just sent off in the last couple of months a KB1 rear end and an L rear end, to crush. Ran out of room to store.

Someone will probably have one, also take a look in the Swap section on here.

my friend bruce at swerven@polarcomm.com should be able to help you out with a rear end no problem.
next if you contact him please tell him i sent you and my name is robert.
lastly the k/kb 1&2 and well as the 1/2 ton l/r/s all share the same rear end and have a 5 on 4 1/2 wheel bolt pattern.
hope this helps robertkb48

Great, Robert, I'll contact Bruce.

What kinda rearend parts do you need? I have a complete KB2 axle that is good, mechanically. The housing is pretty rusty and the brakes are completely ruined. But it does have a good third member and two good axles in it.

Does not the L-110 not use a RA-1 rear end which is straddled rather than the under slung R1050 of the KB-1 and the R-1000 of the D-2 ?

yes, saddles would have to be cut off and relocated, if you consider this option, why not just go even newer like I did? I put a dana posi rearend out of a 60something travelall in my KB-1, same width & wheel bolt pattern, had to relocated the saddles, and have dana yoke put on to KB driveline, but a lot better in the long run, never got stuck again, and I could do freeway speeds
