62 chev 3/4 ton rearend ID - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

landsalmon2 · 05-25-2003, 03:10 PM

Hi,
I,m new to this forum, and have been working on a 62 chev 3/4 ton 2wd. I,ve nearly completed the body work and hope to paint it in 2 weeks. I've installed a rebuilt 350 and turbo 350 trans, so now I'm back to the rearend. I need to know how to Identify this monster Pumpkin so I can get parts.Are there any web sites or stray information floatin around out there? I also am interested in adding power brakes , and would welcome any information.
I've included some pics of the work in progress, Thanks in advance.

Welcome to the board!

I guess the first question is, how many bolt holes is the pan?

Hi, Thanks for the reply. The rearned has a 10 bolt pattern on the back . The pinion is offset to the passenger side in front. And the pinion seal is behind a flange plate. This also has 8 lug wheels. This pumpkin is much larger in size than the later model 8 3/4 10 bolt rearends.

Also, just do a google search for differential identification. there are quite a few pages out there with info that will help you.
