66 C-10 rear axle ID
On many passenger car rear ends, there's a code stamped on the front of the passenger side axle tube. It indicates, year, gear ratio, posi, etc. However, I don't see stampings on the 66 C-10 12-bolt I'm working on. Any idea where to look?

Re: 66 C-10 rear axle ID
Look on top of the axle tube on the passsenger side. You may have to use some type of abrasive to find it. If it had a six cylinder and a three speed there is a good possibility that it is a 3.73 gear ratio.
