Re: Rear Axle Codes
That is the other thing I forgot to mention, nothing stamped under the code.... Actually in '68 I believe GM used 3 sources for their Posi units; 'E' for Eaton, 'D' for Dana, and 'W' for Warner. If...

Rear Axle Codes
I had my axle out of my 427 Biscayne to repair it and I took some pictures of the axle codes. I had a hard time telling if the second character is an 'O' or a 'Q'. What do you guys think?? The 'Q'...
