Just curious,
No gears, no carrier, no axles...
68-72 (supposedly from a '70)
rough range would be fine...

: Whats it worth; 12-bolt "bare" housing, mr Dec 9th, 06, 9:47 AM ....Chevelle 12 bolt rearend, casting numbers........ 1965 Chevelle 3859140N 1966 Chevelle 3875745N 1967 Chevelle 3894939NF 1967 Chevelle/Late 3917124NF 1968 Chevelle 3917124NF 1969 Chevelle/Early 3917124NF 1969 Chevelle 3959038NF 1970-72 Chevelle 3969278NF This list of Chevrolet Chevelle 12 bolt rearends compiled by David Bates... and originally posted by AZCamino...... My guess is, [ $200.-$400. ] just for a bare housing........................................... ..................Don. sschevellefan Dec 11th, 06, 2:58 AM Tony, there were a couple on craigslist recently. one was from a 69 and was asking $275, another was 68-72 and was asking $300 I think. These were complete rearends though. personally I would`nt pay more than $150 for a bare 68-72 housing. I would love to have one but I think I`m stuck with my 10 bolt for a while. AZCamino Dec 11th, 06, 11:22 AM I would agree with these price ranges, but Tony, you mentioned in another post that this housing does not have bearing caps. I would expect even a bare housing to at least have caps at these prices. The value without caps would be much less considering the cost of replacing them. I don't know what that cost would be but it probably approaches the value we are discussing here. Edit: Just did some research. Mark Williams billet caps are $65 ea. and require some milling to install. 1966_L78 Dec 11th, 06, 12:49 PM Well, turned out it DID have caps... But pretty rusted (need line-honing?) I forget the casting number, but the casting date was L 26 70... So I guess thats a '71 (or late 1970? Was there a strike with those too). I have had this rearend for close to 20 years... So complete, bare housing, rusted inside (pitting on the bearing surfaces/caps), with caps... I sold it for $100 on saturday night (the buyer was buying some BB cores, etc). Before we pulled it out, he asked IF it had the caps (gulp!), but it did... I still have a "spare" 1965 (?) 12-bolt (bare housing with old axles that my car is sitting on), so that must be the one missing the caps... Thanks... | ||
