I HAVE A 65 442 WITH A NON POSITRACTION REAR END. IT IS A 3:55 NOW. I WOULD LIKE TO CHANGE IT TO A POSI AND MAYBE A LITTLE BIT LOWER. BUT THEN THE LETTERS ON THE AXLE TUBE WILL BE WRONG. CAN THEY BE CHANGED . HOW WOULD YOU GO ABOUT IT. THANKS JIM

I agree with BR[]. Don't worry about it. I've changed rear ends a billion times, sold the cars and NOBODY gives a hoot what the axle tube says.

WELL IT IS PROABLY MY OCD THAT MAKES ME DO IT. FOR SOME REASON I JUST WANT IT TO MATCH More like OCPD, perfectionism. If your going to diagnose yourself, get it right. Put the gears in, take a pill, call it a good day. Or take the #`s down, go to harbor freight and get a stamp set. And I thought I worried about stupid shit. Lorazepam works real nice

The rear in my hardtop is stamped TH. For the 3.91 ratio posi. I think 3.91 was the lowest available from the factory. I am sure the dealers did not re-stamp for 4.11 or 4.33.

It is fairly easy to rest amp an axle with the correct code if that's what you want to do. Sometimes depending how how an axle was stamped it may require a bit more work to rest amp, but still easily done. Of course you can always try to find a correct posi rear as well. Their are a couple of 65 parts specialists that might be able to hook you up with the correctly stamped posi.
While I would not do a restoration like that, I do admire folks that do. It takes way more effort to do a really correct restoration than one that's not. To each their own, go for it.

Bondo over the stamping and stamp new letters. Done and done. But its impossible to see and nobody is checking these cars that closely and never will. They arent COPO Camaros.

Am I really showing my heritage here or what, first, why ( there are many expletives I would like to use here but the only thing that should matter here is what it feels like when you plant your right toe into the carpet ) Second I agree with post, mostly because I don't know why he would post the above and maybe it would shed some light on the subject. And three, (Stop poking sticks in people's eyes. Seriously, what the hell do you get out of this) not sure I follow this answer?? Did we become the forum of serious answers only others need not answer or DID I REALLY MISS SOMETHING SOMEWHERE.

"Stop poking sticks in people's eyes"
O.K.
"Seriously, what the hell do you get out of this?!?!?"

I feel better now,thank you

I feel better now,thank you I had a feeling that`s what was stuck in your craw, the "stick" I was using wasn`t meant to "poke you in the eye", only meant to prod you along to an explanation. And I, like you, don`t see the #`s thing. But for those that do,it`s cool. There were a few good things that came from this thread. The O.P. got a few good ideas, I`ll just leave it at that.
