1969 dated Rear Differential
I am looking for a dated big block rear end. Build date of car is October 1969. I am open on the ratio: 3:36, 3:55, or 3:70. Thanks!

Rear end
Are you looking for a Posit-Traction Rear End or are you looking for the rare Non Posi-Traction Rear End? In 1969 you could get either the stock non posi, or the option of posi. 1,797 cars were built in 1969 with non posi rear ends. It makes the non posi a very rare, and totally unwanted rear end. LOL. I only ask because I have one of those really rare, highly unsought differentials and thought I would ask. Good luck with your search.

The Big Book Says, only factory Pos-trac 68-71 is with 2.73:1 gear with part number 3961431
The Carrier pn 39117861
That is a good ratio for Big Blocks, my 454 runs a 308, the ratios you listed works fine for small blocks but will handicap a Rat Motor.
Hope that helps

This is what i have, I think the gear ratio is a little lower than your request. I think the AV is a "AV 3.08 Posi (427)" But if your interested let me know

rear w/3.08
I assume you are looking for something that is for sure dated per your request and 3.36+, and possibly not one to rebuild? Mine made your date time frame, but the stamping for gear was off as it's a 3.08.. However, it was 427. I'm not sure of your criteria, but if you do change your mind $250.00 plus shipping. It's never been apart other than i took the front yoke from a build Gary R was doing for me.
