As requested, here are a few pictures showing some details of the Rear Axle Housing. The stamped white numbers represent the production date that the specific Assemblies were completed. The yellow stamp near the U-Bolts (075) is the call out number for the 3:55 gear ratio. The 3 white slashes on the third member also signifies a 3:55 gear ratio. Thanks for the comments and questions!
I want to Thank those who are forwarding comments and “well wishes” for this project. Some have asked why we no longer post on the various Auto Forums. There were a few individuals that would disrupt the updates for no reason other than to instigate trouble. Posting here allows an uninterrupted flow of project progressions, without the negative drama caused by those who do not possess the skill, knowledge or understanding for this type of project build.
I have been asked for an update about the current status of this 4 Door project. Most of the posted material is about 4 weeks old (or older) to allow a cushion between the difficult or slow times we have experienced in the process. Here are a few photos from last week that show the current state of the project. I’ll continue to post procedures on the steps taken to restore many of the individual components shown here.
Here are a few photos showing the Pinon Yoke and Third Member with their inspection/date code markings. The NOS 8.75 Pinion Yoke still has its original inspection paint marks. The 3 white slashes on the Rear End represent a 3:55 to 1 open gear ratio. The SPD for the car is July 30th. The 7-14 represents the month and day the Rear Assembly was setup and built.
