Since 8 3/4 rear is original I'm thinking it would have to be an automatic.

You are correct, Sir! I forgot about that. Probably a 3.23 given the A/C

Here are a few pics from today, after I pressure washed the K member and rear end.
The car has some kinda strange options, auto, A/C, rear defogger, PS, drum brakes, am, fader, vinyl top, tail stripe, road wheels with redline tires, undercoating, no light package or PB, or Sure Grip. Open with a 3.23..

Thanks Guys,

Looks very clean. Going back to the original color?

The 593 is the axle code for a 3.23, non-suregrip rear which is what your car is equipped with. The other yellow numbers that may not be visible are the month/day stamp of the housing assembly, along with an inspector's letter or number. Look in the underside of the large center rib, drivers side, for the date of the 3rd member assembly. Should be 2 to 4 digits for day and month. Also, you'll find on the underside of the pumpkin paint stripes which indicate the gears installed. I think the 3.23 open would be three black stripes. If it was a suregrip, I think it was 1 orange and 3 white. I'm not 100% on those markings though....just going off memory. The back of the carrier housing will have a large &quot;B&quot; for B-Body, which Chrysler started using to mark axle assemblies in 1969 versus the assembly year. Like In 1968, they were marked with a &quot;D&quot;. There may also be a white circle with an X through it. Lots of opinions on what that means: inspected and OK....serviced.....sure grip. If it was a Suregrip rear, the filler plug would have an orange paint blip on it.

Hope that helps!

A little bit of a myth on that one. Several examples of A/C cars with 4spds [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img] [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/grin.gif[/img] Several in the 69 Charger Registry, and my good friend owns a 69 Bee, 383-4spd car with factory A/C.

If what you meant was no R/Ts with A/C and a 4spd, then yes since all R/Ts came with 440s. But then again, I think there is a Y39 special order car that came with it. But as a rule, no 440-4spd cars, just 383-4spd cars. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img] Welcome to Mopars and all the crazy crap associated with them!!

Cheers

Dave
