Incorrect! stock 12 bolt are not 30 1/2&quot; those would be for second gen Camaro or Chevelle 68-72 I did find this measurement: 67-69 Camaro 12 Bolt = 29 9/16&quot;
I could see how 1/8&quot; could be missed depending on how you measure or who measures them

In Wayne Guinn's book &quot;Camaro untold secrets&quot; he states on page 32 that the stock axle length of 30 1/2&quot; had to be shortened to 29 11/16&quot;

My bad your right. Just measured a stock set. So back to my original question. With the leaf pads cut off, stamping on both axle tubes as shown, missing one axle, has both rotors, calipers, dust shields, emergency brakes, and the emergency cables what is a fair market value of the rearend. Would somewhere in the 5-7K range be it. Larry

WTF did I hijack? I started the thread. Thought someone might have an interest in it. Its been a learning experience discovering the parts. Thought I would offer it here first. It is a rare piece with only 206 installed on cars. Larry

Hmmm just seeing this...I dunno what's going on. My &quot;hijack&quot; post was in the &quot;JL8 Stripe-delete '69 Z28&quot; thread when all this discussion about identifying/selling this rearend happened within it. I certainly didn't put it here in this thread, I can assure you.

Yea, this is Larry's thread to start with ???? WTF

Further to what Don said.... When I stated I believed the JL8 axles were 13/16&quot; shorter, I was drawing from memory on facts from Guinns book.

That does look like a correct jl8 axle and the stamping looks good to me. Although I never saw a rear stamped on wrong side and crossed off ??
Recently sold NOS housing axles brakes backing plates etc for 7500.. Would think this rear would be in the 3.5-5k range.. The other axle would help a lot if you found it...they are like hens teeth

Hello, thank you for your input. Looking at the rear it looks like the guy at assembly messed up by putting YQ on the passenger side then marking it out and just moving over to the drivers side and putting QY with the same date. Just fyi Heartbeat reproduces the axles for 175 each he has them on his web page. Larry

I had a Jl-8 car and atleast 6 rears over the years. That date on your rear would work for a real car although seems a bit early for production, it could work. Might be worth it to buy one axle and have perches rewelded !
