pulled this from a sand buggy i scrapped long ago. it says gm on it. the buggy had an olds 303 so maybe this was from the same donor car. i want to try to sell it if its worth anything.
good idea. Ill measure the lug spacing this weekend when I go up to my parents house. they are getting tired of my crap in the yard.
Olds/Pont axle tubes ar "oblong" and "tapered". The rear you have is not. I would guess 55-64 Chevy Pat
The housing, especially modified like it is, isn't worth much, but someone may be interested in the center section. Find out what ratio it is.
In my neck of the woods, a non posi ' 55-'64 rear seem to be worth $125.00-$250.00 depending on what shape its in.
They are OK if you don't beat on them. They aren't very stout behind a 4 speed though. Ask me how I know.
I was going to use 1 a few years ago , didn't have brake drums or backing plates , the cost of those alone made me switch to ford 8", got $100 w/o brakes, so I'd say they're worth at least that to the tri-five crowd. dave
It will need new leaf spring pads or whatever to mount in a different car, but that is a popular swap for 49-54 Chevy with open drive conversion.
Here is a 9.3" Olds compared to a 55 to 64 Chevy rear. The Chevy was in my 57 Corvette Gasser , the Olds is in it now. There is a major size difference.
