12 Bolt Casting Numbers
I need help figuring out what 12 bolt I have. Or lead me in the right direction to find the info.
The numbers on the axle tube are WE 11 12 right axle tube facing front of truck center section is 3838227 left side center section facing front is GM 5 I am doing conversion to 5 lug and need to make sure the parts will work. Thanks. Also what is the outside diameter of a stock 67 driveshaft? I posted this in the suspension section and got nothing. Sorry for the re-post but I need your help. |

Re: 12 Bolt Casting Numbers
A quick check to see if (5) lug axles will fit in your 12 bolt is to measure the distance between the backing plates. The 71-72 axles are 56 1/2" between the plates while some of the 70 and older are 55".
On the drive shaft question, is your truck 2 wd or 4 wd? Jim

You can go here and select the year in the axle codes section. http://www.americanclassic.com/paint_test.asp You need to double check your code though. I don't find a WE.... LockDoc
