    64-67 Rear-end

    I need a rear end for my 65 Skylark that has a 3 series carrier.I'm not sure exactly what(rear-end) will fit my car but something complete minus the brakes would be great.I'm in CA.

    I'm also looking for a shorty (64-67) 3.anything for my 67 Special. Posi or open is fine. I'd like one on the West coast. Can't imagine paying shipping from all you guys on the East.

    Hi
    I have a posi rear end that came out of a 67 skylark 340-4 in 1980. Been inside since. Yours for $300. Like you said shipping could be a pain. I'm in Mich.

    Anybody know if a 68 will fit?

    A '68 rear will bolt up, but it will be too wide. You can compensate with a deeper offset on the rear wheels but it's definitely recommended to stick with the shorter '64-'67 rear-ends.

    I think a later rear may work because I have later 60's wheels on my car and they are tucked in the wheel wells alot, theres probably an 1 1/2" on each side of the car betwwen the tires and fender.

    Hello Skylark300,

    I have a complete rearend out of a '67 340-4 Skylark. It's an open rearend and the ratio I THINK is 2.78's. The axle bearings make some noise but otherwise I was driving it daily until 3 months ago. Sitting in my garage now.
    Let me know if your interested. I'm located in Washington State.

    Cheers,

    rear end correction

    Hey Todd,
    I'm not lookn to BUY a rear, I have a posi for sale. Came out of a 67 Skylark 340-4.Stored 24 yrs. inside. Not sure of the ratio of mine either. People tell me it's stamped on the housing next to the pig.If I can't find it I might spin the wheel to figure it out.It came out of a 3spd. stick.
    Don't mean to look ignorant, but what is an OPEN rear end?
    Thanks
    Ron

    Hello Ron,

    no problem, :pp an open rearend is just another way to say non-posi.

    Cheers,
