Gary Ramadei would be my first choice for anything rear diff related. He can rebuild yours. He just did "Jackfit"'s rear diff. Someone can chime in with his contact info or you can Google him.

Gary just posted (last night) on the NCRS Forum about a similar rebuild for a 63-64 car. Hank can visit the NCRS Technical Forum site and log in as a visitor and read the comments.

Gary lives and works in Connecticut. Just Google the name and state and words Corvette to get his contact information.
