Default Re: 1969 Z11 Pace Car/Parts Car For Sale

I thought a Powerglide SS350 could have a 10 bolt rear depending on the gear ratio. Obviously, if you put the rear in it then you know it's not original to the car. But I thought CRG listed 10 bolts for PG SS350 cars.

From CRG's site:

GM documentation indicates that the LM1 and L48 with M35 or M38 (350/4-barrels with automatic transmissions) were to receive a 10-bolt rear axle with multi-leaf spring. However, the physical evidence shows LM1/M35, LM1/M38, and L48/M38 vehicles actually received 12-bolt axles. Physical evidence on L48/M35 cars (SS-350 with PowerGlide transmission) is still limited, but indicates that at least the later builds received 10-bolt, multi-leaf axles; axle use for early 69 L48/M35 vehicles remains unclear. CRG continues to research this issue.
