I agree, before we were married my wife had an old Chevelle (probably same design 10 bolt GM axle), and the retainer bolt sheared due to a spider locking up on the shaft if I recall, but everything stayed in place. First sign of any trouble was just a clunk when shifting into gear - shaft was getting sloppy in the pinion cage. Swapped in a entire axle assembly from the scrap yard, and it was good to go. I suspect that failure might have been due someone running a much larger tire on one side vs. the other causing the spiders to do a lot of work. This was during the time when big/wide tires were popular, and it had a set of the old "60" series tires on the rear. Be interesting to see what this one looks like inside. A lot of later GM trucks with the G80 locking rears have the Eaton lockers in them, and I have not been into one of those, and they are much different than the old clutch style with the plates, or so I am told. I know most if not all the Z71 optioned trucks have the lockers, but not necessarily if ordered with a G80 Locking rear.
