55-64 Chevy rear
Could someone give me the name of the fellow from Canada that makes upgrades for these rears. Thanks

Those Rearends are one of the more significant reasons that drove
me to switch to racing Mopars back in those days!

Re: 55-64 Chevy rear
I am thinking 66 to 71 B Body.
BUT: I would sneak in a 57 to 64 Pontiac as it much less conspicuous. I raced two 57 Corvettes and once busted the stock rear end climbing the ramps on my ramp truck to go to Lions!

Re: 55-64 Chevy rear
You are better off swapping in a 12 bolt and selling all that early rear end stuff to some collector/restorer. I wrote the book on how to bust one up with a 348 4 speed car I had in the mid 70's. Back then they were pretty cheap. I even blew one up in my 57 Nomad that I had with a stock 327 and a 4 speed. Good riddance to all that.
