Re: Help with ID on rear end

The signs of all the brackets being cut off makes me pretty sure that it is a 65 or later B Body (Impala size) 12 bolt.

There isn't a lot of info on B body 12 bolts but if you scroll down this page to the 12 bolt section there is info that you can use https://www.chevydiy.com/history-and...differentials/ Scroll to the bottom of the page past the 10 bolt section.

I had a 66 Caprice/Impala 12 bolt Posi under my 48 when it was subframed and I wish I had kept that rear axle.

The GK stamping on the tube isn't jiving so far though.
