56 Chevy rear axle?

I still have a couple of hams on the shelf that have Stahl & Associates heat treated MOPAR posi side gears to go with my Henry’s Axles in my 1962 Corvette

You also need a steel bearing cap and stack the posi plates 1 internal tang and 1 external tang to make it a locker....

I also welded a doubler plate and 1/2-20 nut to the rear of the housing, so I could tighten it up against the cap for strength....

Don’t forget there are 2 types of posi cases, 1 with 90 degree ramps and the other 120 degree ramps...

I ran either 3.70’s or 5.38’s on the street back in Brooklyn........
