yea i found out that they were the same..i found a rearend from a guy thats in my area from a monte ss ..he told me it was a 3.42 but turns out it was a 3.73..lol..lucky me..anyway i took the drums off and tryed them on the elky and they were exactly the same..now i need to find a transmission so i...

is the brake shoes and drums the same on both the 85 elky and monte ss. i know the monte has 15'' rims and the elky has 14'' but i was thinking the brakes and drums are the same..is this true..

just curiose but what does the mcss rearend measure from hub to hub..

the ring gear has 11:41 ..i counted the teeth and it has 41 teeth..i sandblasted it and it shows the gty.. i double check and that is what it says..but you say if its a 11:41 on the ring gear then its a 3.73 , is this correct...thanks

i ended up just hammering on it and they finaly came off...thanks guys

the rear end looked like it was made for the monte ss it didnt look to be wider than the car.. well im confussed now..im just needing to know if its a 3.73..i did remove the cover to drain the oil and check the gears and every thing looked good but i cant tell if it a 3.73 or not..

i just found it..it says a gty is a wide track...does anyone know what that means

i looked up the gty and i cant find what that means ..im really hopeing this is the 3.73 rear end..i thought all 85 through 88 had the 3.73...

would this method still work even though the rear end it out of the car..i did look at the sticker in the trunk before the rearend was removed and it said gt4 and i looked that up and it says its a 3.73 but on the numbers on the rear end says gty 035 2... i really want to make sure this is the...

im working on a rear end i just got from a 85 monte ss and im having a hell of a time getting the brake drums off...usualy they pull right off but not this time..is there a trick to getting rusty drums off..

i pulled a rear end from a 85 monte carlo ss today and i sand blasted a spot on the axel tubes so i could see the number and this is what i found...gtyc035 2 .. what do these number mean...the service sticker in the trunk lid had a gt4 so that a 3.73 gear but dont know what the other numbers...

i scored a rear end out of a 85 monte ss and im wondering if the 85 had a 200r4 transmission.. if it does i might be buying it also..i know nothing about trans so how do i tell if it has a 200r4...

i was wondering if the mcss came out with a 200-4r trans.
