Thanks, Derek

The info you need is stamped on the axle tube about 4 or 5 inches from the inside. Seems like it is one the drivers side. There is a website with a decoder, but I have lost the link. If I find it soon, I'll post it.

I thought those rearends were wider than the stock ones?

67cst · 12-29-2002, 11:21 PM

67cst · 12-29-2002, 11:22 PM

Nova_Cobra64 · 12-30-2002, 12:30 AM

Do you have the VIN from the vehicle that the frame came from? If you do, I could have my dad run it through the computer at work and see what the stock rear end was(assuming this is the stock rear end).

67cst · 12-30-2002, 12:49 AM

no unfortunatley i dont, im sure someone on here can figure it out...thanks guys

Mine was stamped on the axle tube. I used a wire brush to remoe the dirt.

**john** · 12-30-2002, 08:14 PM

All of the the no's I have found were on the pass. side tube 4" to 5" out from the center housing. They are stamped on the tube down from the top a little bit to the front side. They are hard to find sometimes because they are not stamped very deep. Wire brush usually does it. Good luck.

67cst · 12-30-2002, 08:44 PM

i allready looked there, my frame was cleaned to bare metal then painted, so i know it isnt hiding under any dirt, and i dont have like an inch of paint on it so its gotta be hiding somewhere else.... maybe an 85 rear end is different...?

nu2-72 · 12-30-2002, 09:59 PM

Interesting, American Classic shows for trucks to 87 but only decodes to 72.

67cst · 12-30-2002, 10:03 PM

yeah i found that out yesterday nu2-72.....frustrating eh..maybe i have an unidentifiable rear end...might have a hampster on a wheel in there....:p

nu2-72 · 12-31-2002, 10:12 AM

I have heard of people putting sawdust in a rearend. Maybe you could try peanuts. I'll bet those sweet Honey Roasted kind would put that hamster on a sugar rush. Hang on! LOL
