BX axle code?

[L78M22Rag]

Interesting discussion. My 1968 elkie SS (factory L78/M22) has a KO coded rearend (4:88 posi) that is dated just prior to the car's build date. The rear was not on the Canadian docs (only shows G80 - posi), so do you figure that rear was installed by the dealer or was it just coincidence that someone swapped the rear for a correct dated 4:88 at some point?

[P.J.]

My factory ordered 68 Camaro GM paperwork says the same thing. Only my orig bill of sale lists the
488 gear ratio

Interesting the document indicates Ochs Motor Products as the customer. I think they were the GM dealer in either Kindersly or perhaps Humbolt SK?

I spoke to my buddy Glenn Hoff a few minutes ago and he was a salesman for Sherwood Chev Olds in Saskatoon back in that era. Glenn said he thought the 68 mentioned above was bought by Roy Andreas who farmed in the Rosetown/Kindersly area. Glenn drove a 70 LS6 4 speed elkie as one of his many demo cars...

If the 68 elkie was owned by Roy Andreas, email me and I'll put you in touch with Glenn.
