[FC] Greenbrier 64 differential

[LonzoVair at aol.com]

Rad,
My old 65 Greenbrier has a 65 diff, right along with the speedometer thingy  
attached... it's # 704... it's parked up at a farm near Georgetown, Ky... I  
never got around to seeing if the axle yokes were bolted in or if they were 
like  the 64s...
Anyone know for sure?
I've had 64 'Briers, too, and they all had the leaf spring mounting  place... 
and the date and diff code would jive with the engine dates and codes  as 
well...
Take care,
Lonzo

Bob's  wrong on this one.  '64 GBs (and presumably the few '64 Rampsides 
as  well) have the boss on the bottom of the diff case for the leaf  
spring.  I know - I have the original trans and diff from a '64  
Greenbrier in my '65.

The '65 Greenbriers probably came with some  '64 diff cases and some '65 
diff cases, but we know that there were '65  cases made with the control 
arm mounting pads cast on the bottom and a  speedometer drive installed 
in the side as with an early case.  Tim  Schwartz in NJ has an NOS one if 
you want to see it.

In short, When  GM needed more FC diffs, they built them out of whatever 
case was coming  off the casting line that  day.
