Can anyone tell me what an "o" type axle is ? Does the O stand for oldsmobile or the shape of the carrier? I also have a rear end that was supposedly pulled from a vista cruiser that is a posi unit. Would this be considered a turnpike cruiser? I can't find a code because the thing is so rusted. What were the gear options that would more than likely be in that car? 2:78, 3:08? The rear cover has a rib that protrudes in the top right corner and also has 10 bolts. Does this sound like an Olds rear end? How do I identify?
