Dave, The rear could be something different than we
thought. My BOP 10 bolt is a 64 and original to my car. My 64 GTO has exactly
the same rear. I think we assumed your rear was a 66 BOP. Could it have been
changed out by a previous owner? I'll be at my local parts store later today and
can get part numbers for my rear, axle bearing, seals etc. But yours may be
different. Can you read any numbers off the center housing that might be
casting numbers or date codes? Is there an axle code stamped on the RS axle
tube? These may help with positive ID.
Let me know if I can help.
Mike

Dave- My wife and I run the only local
independent parts store. I'll do some checking tomorrow and see if I
have that available to me.

That's actually a better rear than the Chevy 10 bolt. It's a BOP
8.2 rear and parts are no problem. I get mine locally at the Carquest
store. Tell em you have a 66 GTO so you don't confuse
them. Mike Here in Dallas they have
no idea. I can't find the axle bearings anywhere. Seems they are not
available anywhere. & I have spent hrs on the phone. The ones that I
can get are to small RW-507-CR. RW-507-CR are 2.749 OD X 1.380
ID.
I need RW-507-G 2.890 OD X 1.437 ID & .740 thick,
sealed ball bearing . I can even use used ones (can be
re-packed).
Help! Maybe I should have bought a Ranchro F**D , sorry I
cussed. Why my 66 Elky ended up with this rear end I don't
know...
