Re: What did the rear end come out of?
No biggee! I've repaired rings gears just like that by building that tooth back up with some TIG welding and hand-grinding/profiling 'til it's like new! It's a lost art......and me......a lost artist.

Re: What did the rear end come out of?
I was thinking that it could be fixed if somebody really needed it.What the heck came from the factory with a 4.88 gear in it?I have seen some service replacemnts up to 5.13,but not factory.Maybe an option on a Z or L78?

Re: What did the rear end come out of?
Well I looked at the site posted above. I looked at the rear end some more and you can see evidence of the factory traction bar. About 4 of teeth are chipped that's real bummer. I turned the pinion and it turns over easily. From what I can tell the pinion doesn't have any damage to the teeth. The rear end doesn't look like it's ever been apart. There weren't any of the broken off teeth or parts inside the housing. I wouldn't put the gear in a daily driver for sure. A trailered restoration that only drives in and out a trailer at shows could go a long time with this gear.
This is what I think this rear end is. QC - 12 Bolt 4.88 gear standard brakes 03 - March 21- 21 March build date 2 Shift code K176 K - Nov A - 17th 6 - 1966 So what this rear end is: 1967 Camaro 12 with factory installed 4.88 gears, standard brakes, built on 21 March 1967 on the 2nd shift. The housing was cast on 17 Nov 1966. ???? Something tells me this isn't a 6 cylinder 3 on the tree Camaro rear end.  http://www.camaros.org/radiusrod.shtml

Re: What did the rear end come out of?
The second shift is usually indicated by the 2 following the G...sees like there is one extra number there. Maybe things are different on early Camaros
