Spid Question
I'm looking at a 1970 Chev longbox truck on Ebay. Everything the seller mentions except the posi rear with 3:08's is printed on the spid. Wouldn't posi ( if it was factory installed ) be on the spid label?

Re: Spid Question
That is a nice truck. If it was closer, it would be in my garage. The owner had it for sale 3-4 weeks ago. Very solid and original. Would have cost me a grand to get it home. Good luck. Make him and offer.

Re: Spid Question
I was planning on calling him tonight. I'm 1000 miles away from the truck but would fly down and drive her home.

Re: Spid Question
I just wandered out & looked at the SPID on my GMC, it shows the axle ratio but does not specify limited slip, which the truck has.

Re: Spid Question
limited slip/posi should be on the SPID if it is original.
A lot of people will goose the throttle in the dirt and get 2 tires spinning and make the claim of LSD. |

Re: Spid Question
Greg, there should be a G80 on the SPID, if it is factory. However, if it is a big block and 4-speed, it should say G87 (maximum traction).
