Is the metal tag still on it? Those #'s don't ring a bell here.

kychevy, if you can't find a tag, and you just want to figure out your gear ratio, without tearing it down and counting the teeth, here's a video that shows the best way I know of to determine the gear ratio of your rear end. good luck, BDR

!0 & 12 bolts typically have numbers stamped in the axle tube on the right tube front side midway. There is a series of # followed by letters. My Hollander Interchange manuals have a chapter devoted to identifying the codes. They typically never had tags other than " use limited slip lube only" if so equiped.
