camper special was a chevy or ford name for heavy duty back in the day. so the front would be d44, the rear would be d60(ford) 14bolt(chev). the front 44 being 3/4ton would be the beavy duty version, thus the bigger 8 lug hubs/knuckles. 400$ isnt bad if they are in decent shape. with those gears you could add lock-rites and go wheeling. id get more info from the seller.

Chevy made 2 14bolt axles over the years, one being a 9.5" ring gear, which is what that looks like, and also a 10.5". The 10.5s were used under 1973-87 3/4-tons, and are easily converted to run disc brakes with a caliper bracket that Modern Motors even has in stock. (I had mine converted and it works great!)
The 9.5" ring gear models used in the rear of 1964-and-later GM pickups, and in the rear of 1984-91 3/4-ton Suburbans. This one looks more to me like a 9.5" version. The bigger 10.5 ones have a very unmistakable shape to them being a lot more angled. This one seems a bit rounder. I'm not sure if they are a full floating axle or not, but the 10.5 definitely is.

9.5"


10.5"
I did a Google search for "hot trannies" but nothing came up about oil coolers  :o

Worrying too much about mpg with a Jeep is similar to worrying about your sister's virginity. An ok thing to be concerned about but...
