Hey guys does any one know if the rear end out of a 47 pontiac with a straight eight is the same as the 50s olds/pontiac rears ? I was told 37 thru 56 olds/pontiac rears are the same is this true ? it looks smaller than some of the olds/pontiac rears I have seen pictured here Thanks
I believe 49-56 are the same, but not the same as 57-64 9.3" rears. 48 and back might be the same to 56, I'm just not sure on those. Good Luck KK
The only real break off is that 37-47 has ball bearing type pinion bearings, 47-56 has roller bearings...The Pontiac MPC show doesn't show the exact break off but list 47 with both, maybe early and late builds?
Thanks for the answers I have 2 more questiions Will the center section from the 57 to 64 olds / pontiac rears fit in this housing ? and if not can you get parts to rebuild the 47 pontiac rear I would like to use it because I like the way it looks and the price is right its free Thanks for your help
I have a restorer friend with an early 1950ish Pontiac centre in his 46 Olds housing, direct bolt up. I doubt the larger 9" centre would fit in the early housing
