69 12-bolt posi

[novaman_69]

The Nova I am restoring has a 12-bolt rear end in it. The perches were moved and I can only make out a few of the numbers on the tubing. Is there any other way I can verify its originality??

I also was wondering where I can find a complete re-build kit for this rear end??? I have looked a little bit on-line with no luck??

Tyler, you may have already seen this, but it may be of some help. Maybe this will help with the codes you can still make out.

Ratech makes quality differential rebuild components. They can be purchased at Summit and other parts houses. If you're going to install a new ring/pinion, then save your self a LOT of grief and toss the standard crush collar/sleeve in favor of a solid pinion bearing spacer which uses shims. Also be aware that there were auto and truck 12-bolts offered (both with a 8.875" ring gear), so make sure when purchasing 12-bolt components/kits you get the 'auto' and not the truck.

Thanks again Dan, I was able to make out the BT, WHich means 1969 3.55 posi, so I guess that will do the trick. That is a nice site, I have been on there before, solid work by Scott. I will have to check out Summits site here, Thanks

Send me an email if you need parts. I can get you whatever you need. Looks like Chicane67 can fix you up too.

I need some rear frame rails I know, and for the rest I will have to get a list together and send you an e-mail. Thanks
