70 GTO Rear axle question
Why is it that some 70 GTO's came with 10 bolt rears and some 12 bolts?
|
In 1970, only the 455 got the 12-bolt.
|
I have a friend that has a 70 GTO Judge RA III that has the 12 bolt. Its dated for the cars build. Pretty sure it came that way.
Is this possible? Any other known exceptions? |
It’s possible, but not probable. Only the 455 HO was supposed to get the 12-bolt from the factory. The axle code should be one of the following:
3.31 ratio - WU: open carrier, XU: posi 3.55 ratio - WV: open carrier, XV: posi |

didnt all Oshawa Judges and GTOs for 70 get 12 bolts regardless of engine, because of the supplier location?
I know all the canadian built skylarks did, even if they had a 6 cylinder..i myself have removed 3 from 350 2bbl cars |
Nope

What if the 3.55 was specified buy the customer? Then it would have to be the 12 bolt.
