Need a rear axle, where can I get it?

Ive been looking everywhere in town for a rear axle for my 71 skylark and no one seems to have one, a guy at an axle shop said I would probably have to have one made. Anyone know where I can get one? It is a buick rear end obviously, so the axle is retained by the 4 bolt plate, It is the passenger side axle that I am looking for, I will also need the seal and bearing.

 

Where you from?

 

mesa, AZ

 

I am sorry I have not got back to you. Call Nate at AZ diff specialist 602.462.5367
If that does not work try Bryan at Benrich Auto Wrecking. 602.997.9451
Tell them John at M&M told you to call.

thanks john, I will give them a call tomorrow

 

And if that fails let me know. I have a couple around here that might work for you. Will deliver to Vegas Oct. 7 and hand off to an Arizona participant if possible.

 

Any luck??

Axel Source

I needed an axel several years ago and found one through:
Sundell Auto Specialties
400 Stoughton Rd.
Slippery Rock, PA
724/ 794-6827

I did all by phone and mail. Did have to send them a drawing with the dimensions, though.

Hope this helps.

Big time Buick stuff. Mostly turbo cars but looks like 20+ V8 cars this year. 14 pre-registered. You can register at the gate Friday night. Racing Friday night (T&T) and Saturday morning til 5 I think. Good ole time with good ole folks.

Look in the treads under Buick Events - down below the categories.

 

I offered to bring an axle to Vegas but have had no reply.

I should have one. What year models will work in that? Are 68-72 the same, if so I have a pair.

If it's the original rear end, it needs to come from a BOP 71-72 A-body rear.
