* GM 10-bolt: While less common in a *one-ton* due to the higher capacity demands, some lighter-duty one-tons might have a heavy-duty 10-bolt. It's not ideal for heavy towing or hauling, though.
* GM 14-bolt full-floating: This is the most likely candidate for a 1995 Chevy one-ton. The "full-floating" design means the axle shafts don't support the weight of the truck; the axle housing does. This is crucial for heavy loads.
To know for sure which rear end is in *your* specific 1995 Chevy one-ton, you'll need to:
* Check the axle tag: Look for a tag on the differential housing itself. It will have information about the gear ratio and possibly other identifying information.
* Look at the axle tubes: A full-floating 14-bolt will have thicker axle tubes than a 10-bolt.
* Check the VIN: A vehicle identification number (VIN) decoder may reveal some details about the original build specifications.
Without looking at the truck itself, it's impossible to say definitively which rear axle is present.
