    BUICKRAT Got any treats?

    I have an unidentified rear end here. 12 bolt cover, 12 bolt ring gear, c-clip, 3.31:1 gear ratio. I found some numbers on the front of the right axle tube, they are RVC209B. # on the housing is 3869278 NF. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

    C = Chevrolet Buffalo assembly

    209 = Day of year, July 28th

    B = 2nd Shift ( although D=Day & N=Night shift were to be stamped according to GM/Chevrolet)
