Found this! What is this diff cover off? Who made it?

Hey,
I am wondering if this is a GM 12 bolt rear diff cover?I found it when I was cleaning an old Fina gas station in near my home. I have had it for a couple years and just found it the other day. It has no manufacturing part number or name except the HE on the back and it is made out of aluminum? The thing is kinda cool.
So
Is it for a 12 bolt rear end?
Who made it?
Any idea if it is worth anything?

HICKEY ENTERPRISES 4X4 STUFF prob Chevy

clean it up real good and use it for breakfast cereal

 

Looks like a GM Corporate (truck) 12-bolt cover. These would be found under '64-'82 GM 1/2 and 3/4-ton trucks. No idea on the make, though.

It's a Dana rear end cover......

 

I have a Dana 25, 27, 30, 35C, 44, 44HD, 53, 60, 60HD, 70, 70U, 70HD, 80, and a 135. It does not match any of those.

None of them have a bolt that high up in the pattern, in the 11 o'clock position.

wow you have some rearends

 

Correct!

 

Used to build 4x4 stuff. Only the 44HD and the 60HD are under a vehicle (my daily). The rest are slowly being sold off.

 

That is kinda cool since I found it. It looks like the one in the picture. So is there a way to tell if it is a dana or a chevy diff cover?

Look at the like I posted. See the position of the bolt holes. The highest ones in the pattern give it away. All of the Dana axles have a single bolt at the top of the pattern. Your cover has two. It is not a Dana cover.

 

Sorry I didn't see the link you sent out. Great link! So I guess we have a winner! 12 bolt rear end housing and it might be worth something!

I tried to do a search on the company. Not really any info????

WHOOOPS, SRY GUYS i did not see that last post. no need to be a douche bags, honest mistake!!!

 

Looking at the original date of the thread or seeing the last post. It isn't rocket science in other words how difficult is it ?

 

Whats wrong with bumping an old thread about vintage parts that are hard to find? Not seeing that it was sold was dumb on my part. it must be nice to sit around and monitor a website all day.

 

Relax, this is some the good old-fashioned ball busting that used to happen here a lot. No scars or bruises, just sorta like hanging in shop with a bunch of smart *** car types. Have a good day...

 

Ah yes, trust me i work in the automotive industry and you have to have thick skin. However, I dont need someone to tell me that i cant bump and old post.

 

So, is this the only reason you joined the HAMB TODAY?

 

Nope, looked like a pretty cool website. Also, now looks like i could learn alot from here. For example, like how to read and how to be a site monitoring Douche Bag... However, its all in good fun. Most Importantly, i would like to gain some more knowledge about Hickey enterprise. Do Any of you guys have any knowledge or parts?

 

I think there is a 4x4 thread in the Antiquated forum, hit the forums ****on. You might ask there.

 

LOL
