My "A" came with a 10 bolt that i might just use.....i need help figuring out what it came from... from what I can read off the housing it looks like # 3863495N GM13.....or something close, I was too lazy to scrape all the grunge off of it....
the only numbers i can find are on the front right passenger side of the carrier housing which is (i think) 3863495N.....and because of the number location, i think it might be a 62-63.....(not sure one bit though) and because of the cover, i know it is a 8.2" rearend.....hope this helps, I really would like to know what this came out of....mainly for parts purposes....(you know the idiots behind the counter, you have to know everything, or else you get the wrong part....)
wish i could help ya more but i cant, sorry.....joe [ QUOTE ] you know the idiots behind the counter, you have to know everything, or else you get the wrong part [/ QUOTE ] ooooooo god tell me, sometimes it amazes me why they some of those QQQQ's when it doesnt matter.
Yo Bradberry....... I can decipher the stamped number on the axle tube but you're gonna hafta scrape some more to find it. The book says it should be stamped in "the rear of the left axle tube, approximately 3" from the carrier". I should be able to tell you the year, division, ratio and whether it's locking or not. Scrape, me boy, scrape!
ive scraped like hell there....but ill try scraping more.....it is down to some silver glimer of bare metal in some spots......ill see what i can do....
well i found it finally, on the front (sort of....i think the guy that stamped it must have been about to leave for the day...) passenger side axle tube.... the number is CA 12 28 W I have found out by the site listed above, and others that i found, that it was made on Dec. 28 in Warren, MI.....however i don't know the year...or the model of vehicle it came from And i found out the gear ratio the hard way....i opened it up and found out it has a 3.08 ratio.... just wanna know the year and model now.... Thanks guys....
