    It has 2.73 gears in it and is a c-clip rear end.
    15/41 on the ring gear
    I've looked EVERYwhere on this axle and there is nothing stamped on it.
    I found some more numbers cast into the pumpkin

    8969277 nf

    and

    GM62

    ??? What are you looking to find from the axle tube that you do not already know NOW? :)

    If you want the rear ID-ed just post pictures I will help you and I am sure the other guys will too.

    Take care, Jim

    Does it attach to the driveshaft with straps or U bolts?

    well hears the diff.
    the cover is smooth by the way no ridge or any notches.
    I checked the pinion nut and it is 1 and 1/16 sized.

    Is it asking too much to get year/make/model or is this a trivia contest of some kind?

    I'm not looking for yr mk and mod
    I just need to know if it is an 8.2 or a 8.5.
    I did a lot of looking around an FINALLY found out its from a
    70-72 chevelle, from the casting numbers.

    The lack of the casted ears at the 5 and 7 o'clock position of the housing may point towards the 8.2 variety.I'll bet Monzaz can tell you for shure with the picture.

    R the housing covers interchangable between the 8.2 and the 8.5 cuz the 1 i have is smooth withOUT a ridge.
    or notches.

    The round housing covers are interchangeable between the chevy 8.2 and the 10 bolt 8.5, Yes...

    The notched cover (8.5 10 bolt) ONLY fits the Notched 8.5 10 bolt casting. The round cover 8.2 CHEVY or 8.5 WILL fit the notched casting rear.
