There are some numbers STAMPED into the front of the passenger side axle tube. The picture here, http://www.chevelles.com/years/64/64rearcodes.html is slightly inaccurate. The numbers are on the front side of the tube. Get these numbers & post them in the tag team area. Someone will be able to tell you the year of the rearend. Then you can order a posi unit from one of the suppliers.
