<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: L78M22Rag</div><div class="ubbcode-body">Interesting discussion. My 1968 elkie SS (factory L78/M22) has a KO coded rearend (4:88 posi) that is dated just prior to the car's build date. The rear was not on the Canadian docs (only shows G80 - posi), so do you figure that rear was installed by the dealer or was it just coincidence that someone swapped the rear for a correct dated 4:88 at some point?

Interesting the document indicates Ochs Motor Products as the customer. I think they were the GM dealer in either Kindersly or perhaps Humbolt SK?

I spoke to my buddy Glenn Hoff a few minutes ago and he was a salesman for Sherwood Chev Olds in Saskatoon back in that era. Glenn said he thought the 68 mentioned above was bought by Roy Andreas who farmed in the Rosetown/Kindersly area. Glenn drove a 70 LS6 4 speed elkie as one of his many demo cars...

If the 68 elkie was owned by Roy Andreas, email me and I'll put you in touch with Glenn.
