What did it come out of and what’s it worth ? If anything

Well if it’s in the car and perches haven’t been reweld most likely a b body. Look for part number and report back if you want to get exact

Clean the axle tubes and look for the BOM numbers. 23 spline most likely 66-70 b-body.

 

[Fran Blacker]

Rear of right tube good place to start for numbers.

The center section is a dana Spicer Power Loc Posi unit. With 23 spline axels. Produced for Mopar until 1970. Then Mopar switched too a single piece housing which was cheaper to build and no where near as strong as the two piece power lock was. This dana has been modified for a GM or after market four link. I was offer it as is on racing junk. com prolly worth 1500 if everything checks out ok.

Thats to narrow for a production housing. Someone narrowed what ever it is.

Not according to the Dana chart it’s 541/2 inside flange to inside flange Dana says 55 from center of flange to center of flange

My bad I was thinking track width. So it could be a 66 to 70 B-Body.

And is the 66 not a date code ?

Could be.

Does it have a drain plug on the bottom? 66-67 Dana housings had drain plugs. Looks like a spacer under the ring gear so it might be a 3 series SG unit. Looks like a nice unit and it still has the perches on it. With the big brakes on it I would value it about $2000 if the gears and bearings are in good shape.
