    Does anyone know if there is or was ever a 29 spline spool for a '57 Pontiac rear end made?

    I have a 29 spline positrac, but wouldn't mind having a spool to go with the car as well.

    I think I have a low buck locker blocks that go in place of the spider gears for a 29 spline rear. I would have to check.

    Thanks for the information. I'd be interested in some of those locker blocks if anyone had any to sell. Are they very strong?

    I was just wanting to build another center to race with.
     
  7. My 29 spline Ansen locker blocks held up well for 2 meets and took a lot of abuse but third time out the cross pin broke and everything shifted and got destroyed. I have 35 spline axles and spool now.
