What rear axle do I have

I have a 12 bolt 68 Chevy c10 with 6 lug wheels. Is this the 8.875 rear axle?

Do you have a tractor or do you mean 3.87?

That's pretty funny but I think Chris is right.

Re: What rear axle do I have

You are talking about the ring gear size, and yes....that's what it is!!!

Cars are 8.2 and 8.5....it's the truck 12 bolts that are 8.875 which is why a truck and car 12 bolt carrier are not interchangable!!
