Title: Differential Covers?
Post by: 76_Scottsdale on August 01, 2007, 10:19:10 PM

I was wonderin where some of you guys get the thick cast aluminum differential covers with cooling fins/ribs on them at. This is for a Corp 14 Bolt 10.5" rear and a Dana 44 front.
Thanks in advance.

Is this cover for the Corp 14 bolt 10.5" Full floating axle? It's not quite clear.

Thanks but I was looking more for the shiny chrome looking ones that have the ribs/fins coming off them that I see alot of folks on here with. Anywhere else you could think of?

Thanks again

I'm interestied in that too, since my cover seems to be leaking some. I have a stock (I believe) rear end in my truck (originally an 81 GMC shorty 2wd 6cyl. 1/2 ton). What diff does it have?

either a 10bolt or 12bolt, could be either in 81/82.

Okay and that bolt reference is just the # of bolts in the cover and not the # of bolts on the ring gear right?

Well it just so happens that it is the same on the cover, but it actually is referenced to the ring gear.
