This is the best write up I've ever seen:
http://www.camaros.org/assemblyprocess.shtml The author, John Hinkley, is standing in the background of the full photo referenced in post #8 (white shirt, back to camera). While it is written from a Camaro perspective it is relevant for Firebird as well since they were built in the same plant(s). This is also very good, specific to the home plant in Pontiac Michigan (relative to A bodies): "Made in Pontiac" series http://wildaboutcarsonline.com/cgi-b...aldisplayed=50 http://wildaboutcarsonline.com/cgi-b...aldisplayed=50 http://wildaboutcarsonline.com/cgi-b...aldisplayed=50 http://wildaboutcarsonline.com/cgi-b...aldisplayed=50 http://wildaboutcarsonline.com/cgi-b...aldisplayed=50 These were compiled by author/historian Eric White after interviewing a worker at the Pontiac facility.

Keith, To be 100% accurate it was written by the author from a Lordstown operational experience standpoint.

Jeff, This is a very good post. The Tech Service Bulletin is some strong evidence for the 68-72 CHEVROLET Axles. This brings me to the newest question. Since the 1970 Trans Am and the 1971-1972 GTOs used a Chevrolet 12-Bolt axle wouldn't it be safe to say that these cars would be a Black Axle and backing plates. I am restoring a 70 TA right now and feel this should be the case. I may have to create a new thread regarding those models to get the attention of the 70F and 70-72 A Pontiac owners. I would refer people back to this thread to review all of these great posts. Any thoughts on the Pontiac's with the Chevrolet 12-bolt installed before I start a new thread? Also the 71 up Pontiac Firebirds used the "Corporate" axle same as Camaro so.....would that be all black as well..
Thanks for all the participation with some great info.
