Is there a part number listed on the rear end housing on a 65 that I can cross reference to find out what gears are in there? Whether or not it is a posi or a safety track rear end and where would this number be on the rear end.

Yes there is a code that'll tell you if it's posi or non-posi, and the gear ratio. You will find a two letter code beginning with either a U (non-posi), or V (posi). The second letter tell the ratio. Let me know what it is, and I'll tell you the ratio. It'll be any letter from A (2.41) through K (4.11). There were a total of 13 ratios available, but 2 were dealer installed. 3.90 and 4.33.
The location of the code is on the back side of the RH axle housing about a foot from the diff'l. It's location isn't exact, so try a few places. It's not near the extreme ends, so if you can't find it, keep trying. The letters are small, about 3/8" tall. Good luck.

Mp thanks for the help. I just got in a factory service manual which showed pictures and stated everything as you said it. I sanded on that axle for quite some time but still didnt find the stampings. Will look more later.

The stamp is never where the pic's say! It can be on either side and on the top or bottom! I've found them all over the place! And to top it all they sometimed don't stamp them at all!
Best bet is to remove the cover and drain the fluid and look on the ring gear for the ratio. you should find a number like 41:10 for 410's ect [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif[/img]

Blackcat is probably right about that. I've looked for that code on 4 '65 fullsize Pontiacs over the years and a 69 Chev too. Found the code everytime except once in the general area they show.
The shop manual is what I use too, but it doesn't mention the 2 dealer installed ratios. Might as well open it up and see whatcha got.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
