From the year 1953 to the year 1962, after that it was a trans axle.
In the back of the car near the rear axle....
they have never stopped making the front axle solid.
240hp (245hp with 3.07:1 rear axle).
I have a 1978 corvette and was curious too about the ratios.From what I found on the web they are 3.08:1 for an automatic and 3.36:1 for a manual transmission.
The rear axle is a "live-axle", one solid axle connecting to the differential in the middle of the vehicle.
Yes
It has 240HP, but if it has the 3.07:1 rear axle where it comes with performance exhaust, it puts out 245HP.
No, it has independent suspension in front.
This would be axle grease. It is usually a thick, semi-solid grease made from petroleum.

is this a 4x4 solid front axle.your front axle shaft u-joints may be bad.get under the front axle between the wheel and the end of your axle tube grab the u-joint and see if it has play.this is most common knocking on solid axle trucks
In many cases they are lubricated from the gear oil in the differential.
