Hello all,

Does anyone can help me identifyiong this 12-bolt rear axle? It's in my 1970 Chevelle. Here are the writings I could find:

All are on the center part, front side, but are placed separately on different quarters of the part. Check pix here:

Welcome Michael. The place to ask that question is the Tag Team forum farther down the page.

There should be some stamped numbers on the front of the right hand axle tube. Look to see if you can find these.
