As Denis posted, they were a welded retrofit and not clamped. One of my old SS's had a service receipt for the retrofit in the glove box...

My bad regarding retrofit axel bracket. It was welded on at the dealerships. I must have it mixed up with another retrofit.

Re: Nice car...but the price!
 

axel... like in rose? Welded yes. Welcome to the jungle, no. axle bracket would only make this powerslide equipped ca-macho even slower due to weight gain....

If you want to get technical, its Axl Rose, not Axel. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/scholar.gif

Re: Nice car...but the price!
 

Yep, you're right...but it IS Axel Foley, right?

From what I remember...Guns & Roses got their name from two bands...the LA GUNS and the Hollywood Roses...

AXL got his name froma band he was in...Ironically called A.X.L. His real name is William Bruce Bailey (William Rose). Enough of the GNR trivia... https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif

If the car did not have a posi rear, it did not get the rod.
So all cars with an open 10 bolt did not get one.

Would that be a true statement for the 1967 Camaro model year only,meaning by 1968,even the open 10 bolts received them?

Re: Nice car...but the price!
 

'68 and newer performance applications used Multi Leafs to cure the problem.
