Get the cast date code off, Im still new on finding the history on "BE" rears, I have been told they are COPO specific, My 68 had a real late 68 or real early 69 Oct. date code, I think mine was a over the counter part every thing else on my car is, but have been told it never happened also as I was warned get ready for alot of PM's

This is Todd's rear in question, I will send you a Email on posting pics.

I see no need to PM..if either of you are interested in selling your rear, please let me know. Thanks

Looks like a BL rear stamped to BE to me....

[COPO]

The stamping pattern lends credence to a possible restamped "BL" but could be legit BE as several 03B Yenkos have that exact dated rear. A better close-up of the casting date and pulling the rear cover would shed more light on things and help you to determine a fair price for the car if you decide to sell it.

I want to pull the cover off for my own curiosity and to clear up the questions being asked about it. But we are expecting a storm here tonight and the ground is too soft to try to move it right now so I don’t know when I’ll be able to do it. i am only around on weekends and it's hit and miss with weather. but when i do i will post the results.
thanks to all the help and replys.

That's what I thought about the last BE rear that popped up. But looking at pictures of real BE rears and even in Jerry's book, that's what most of the E's look like. So it could very well be an original BE rear.

[Unreal]

Shouldn't the E for Eaton and the E in BE look about the same? I would think they would be stamped at the same time.

Gary,
Both "E"s would have been hit with the same stamp when assembled and should look the same.
