This rear belongs to a member here with a spotless reputation. This rear was posted here when he located it at englishtown. There are a few dates of BE rears that were factory reworked.

Are you asking us to believe that you can make out a remnant of a V out of all those marks around the re-stamp? You must have better eyes than my 20/15. Why would GM use a different font to re-stamp them? Is there somewhere else we can confirm your claim about BVs being restamped? Haven't heard that one before. Do you have any pics as examples we can see?
I think BL restamped is more likely, but even then the stamp is so bad...

This thread should probably be deleted completely to keep this info quiet otherwise there will soon be more "original" reworked BE rears than you can shake a stick at.
Good call Mike, I deleted any info I posted.

The community is pretty astute about BE stamps. When a BV is changed to a BE (
today or from the factory) - the value obviously drops off considerably. also, most if not all of the original BE assembly dates are known. It is an interesting discussion though. I'm not doubting the story, just trying to make sense out of it. Why in the world would a BV rear be re-stamped to BE due to a lack of BE "parts". It would have to be the heat treated copo gears right? So, how does that make sense? If you're out of the BE specific components, and you decide to substitute BV components - why not just make a new BE rear using BV components? Why go to the trouble of taking an already assembled BV and changing the V to a E? Or maybe you're saying that it wasn't a parts shortage - the factory just made an error in stamping a real BE as a BV? The whole thing makes no sense, but then again - I was the poor student at the Tonawanda foundry who spent a few days whacking part numbers on castings that were cast with partial part numbers missing! At the time, I didn't think that made much sense either.

Im not disagreeing that the community is aware of the stampings.. I am more interested in if there was a stamping error how was it resolved. In the case of the engine or trans stamps they were either "x" out, stamped over (if the stamp was too light the first go around) or it was left unchanged.. I have my thoughts about the diff in question but I am not going to voice an opinion at this time.
