I take it the number is stamped on the diff centre not the housing?
The 3725899 center section casting was used on 57-62 Corvettes and 55-64 Chev passenger cars non LSD.

Not really worth the effort. They are a Banjo version of a Chev 10-bolt. A lot of mucking around for not much gain.
B-W & 9" are much stronger.

If at first you don't succeed, just call it Version 1.0 |

Dr Terry,you are right, but its no effort its already been fitted to a 1 tonner so would fit straight in.I wouldnt bother with customizing a rear end.Still leaves the question what is it worth?and still dont know the ratio...(just checked it an its 3.55)i have a 3.08 in it now(10 bolt) Jim in adelaide Edited by user Tuesday, 4 August 2009 6:25:27 AM(UTC)

Just make sure you use the words "Rare" "Collectable" and "Bathurst" to get the best price..lol
