I have scoured on-line sources, but I am not finding any charts that match up to the stamped codes on my rear axle, so hoping someone can help me here. This axle is definitely an 8.5" G-Body axle - it has the squared off tabs at bottom. I bought it believing it to be a 3.73 non-posi, out of a 1984 Hurst Olds.
Here are the codes on the axle:
6TF G 273
From what I have found, the G indicates location of mfg (Detroit, it think) and the 273 is the day of manufacture ? I have seen a posting saying the code for a 3.73 Hurst Olds rear would be 8TF, but this stamp very clearly says 6TF. I will post a pic shortly if I can get it to work from my phone.
Anybody got any references that will match up this axle stamp to anything ?
Thanks
