Help ID this rear end
I bought this rear end on FB Marketplace and I'm pretty sure it's a 12 bolt, but I want to figure out a few details on it so I can rebuild and convert to 5 lug. I've been searching all over the forum and the internet and haven't been able to decode all of the codes. The seller thought it came out of a 70s squarebody.
Castings on the pumpkin: -GM83 -3896839 N Stamping on the axle tube: -KAN -300W91 Stampings on the ring gear: -3819037 -9:37 -GM 2 801 Pics below. My questions: -Doesn't KAN mean it's a 3:55 open differential? -Doesn't 9:37 mean it's a 4:11 gear set? -Is there a way to tell what year and model (C10/K10/C20/K20) this rear end came out of? I want to buy the right brake parts, bearings, etc. -What is the best deal on a set of 5-lug conversion axles? -Can I use C10 5-lug drums off a 73-80 or do I need something different?
