Thanks.

I understand what you want. the housing you want is casting #9779822. these are also date coded to make your hunt even harder. the gear codes you can change. they are only stamped in axle tube. the gears as stated are not a issue.

the casting # and date code are on the bottom of pinion area of case.

you may be able to play with changing date code with some art work.

you are going to need a lot of luck finding this. so good luck!

Thanks for the great information! That's what I need. Another member gave me a heads up on a possible axle. Now I can look for the correct casting.

the correct date is the harder part. if your not critical on that it makes it easier. the 64 housing is different in that the upper eyes in the housing for bushings for upper control arms mount are smaller. the 66 case is wider ( some don't think so). i will get gruff on that. but the casting number will be different even if i'm wrong most likely.
