How could it be cast in 68 and then sit at GM for a year til it is assembled and put in a car. I would also like to see other casting dates from original cars to compare. Maybe you can go back to where you go it, and go back on its history. I know it's a long shot! Also can anyone answer why the BE always looks like a 2yr. old kid stamped it. I have seen others that way also. Not gang stamped? Roger

As for the time frame differentiation, remember there was the initail order to run the parts; I can imagine the parts ready for the COPO order call, being that this was accepted internally before the run of the orders to be filled...so to have the surplus in stock ready to fill the order upon arrival internally!

Just to let everyone know, the differential was brought to our shop to be looked at. Upon close inspection by myself and the former shop owner we can definitely say it is not a restamp and the month of casting is C

I wonder if it was a mistake in the casting date year. It just seems odd for the rear housing to be dated a year earlier. Maybe Kurt S has more information on cars in that time frame that might have rears with a 68 casting date instead of 69.
