Rear Diff. Help
I bought a rear differential over the weekend and need some help decoding the stampings on the bottom. The guy said it was for a 68 model. 3899143 D 14 8 OK 150 W85 and maybe a 7 after the W85. Hard to read. Also were is the cheapest place for rebuild parts. I will be selling this differental if someone is interested. thanks derrick 606 306 3300

Two quick questions for you concerning the info on the link. I have a 3.70 and want to go to a 3.08. What is the difference in an AT and an AW, if any? When I look at ring and pinion sets from Corvette venders as well as Summit I see no mention of heavy duty. Are the ring and pinion the same on either (AV vs. AT and AW) or does the heavy duty refer to case and other components? Thanks

I'm having a little trouble understanding the original post. You bought a diff. You don't know what year it is? (it's a 78, not 68). You are looking for a place to buy the cheapest parts. You are planning on rebuilding it and sell it to someone here on the forum?
