Factory GM rear end?
 
Does this look like the rear end that came with the truck back in 62'? If so, what type is it? Thanks.

Yes. It's the Eaton HO32/33.

Need some info about Eaton HO32/33. I am buying a 62 Custom cab that has a 283 with a powerglide, factory automatic column, looks like factory power brakes. Does anyone know if the truck is a factory automatic truck, did they come with 3.38 gears? Thanks in advance Runningiron

Practically all from 55-62 were 3.90 ratio. Some were 4.11. There were some 3.38 in 58-59 but ive never been able to find one. There is aftermarket gears available in 3.38.

If it actually came with a powerglide that means it had to be 3.90 or 4.11--3.38's were only for manual trans trucks.
