Hickey 14 Bolt Diff Cover

I scored a Hickey finned aluminum rear diff cover for a 14 Bolt axle off ebay the other day. I'm super stoked because I really dig the Hickey stuff, and have collected a lot of it over the years. But I run 1 ton axles and I've had to pass on the 12 bolt covers (original and repop) that I've come across. If you think the 12 bolt covers are hard to find, try finding a 14 bolt cover! Now I can bolt one on in style!

Re: Hickey 14 Bolt Diff Cover

I will post pics when it shows up. Not due to ship until tomorrow. The thing hold like an additional quart of gear oil! I might just wear it as a helmet for a while.

Re: Hickey 14 Bolt Diff Cover

Cool find. I'm guessing definitely a tough one. I've only seen the 12 bolt and 44 covers.

Re: Hickey 14 Bolt Diff Cover

I hope its on my doorstep when I get home. Mine is definitely spending the rest of its life on my Blazer. I even modified my oversized fuel tank to make room for it! That bad boy is deep.

Re: Hickey 14 Bolt Diff Cover

I guess I'll post a pic too. This is the last one I just sold. Not the polished one I sold earlier.
