Rear Axle Code on '71
Can one of you folks please tell me where exactly to look for the rear axle code on a '71? Got all the other codes/stamping numbers, but am having a hard time finding the one on the rear axle. Thanx in advance.

Guess I'll have to do it again with a putty knife and scrape some road grime off. I was looking for a tag the first time. Thanx.

The stamping is a series of numbers/letters stamped on the narrow (long, slender) flat surface of the third member located adjacent to the center mounting plate holding the rear spring. It should resemble something like this... AW W 190 E 2

Here's what mine looks like on a '70. The numbers are small and faint. I had to wire brush the crud off to get this visible. My codes mean: 3.36:1 ratio (CAM), 3/26/70 mfg date, W - Warren plant.

Thanx very much guys. I was looking there, but apparently have to do more cleaning.
