Did they ever manufacture them ?

The full size cars through 1964 (except for the 1964 Jetstar 88) still used the 9.3" Olds/Pontiac axle with the drop out center section.

Was the 64 Buick axle the same as the Olds and Pontiac?
The one I have has 1" upper control arm bushings...
Monza verified this when he saw the pics he was sent...

joe_padavano

Does it have a drop out center section like this?

I do not believe so.... (center section)

Here are a couple more pics...

That's a code 2 stamped on the carrier. Only f/s olds and goats will have this ratio. This fits 57 thru 64 9.3 rear axles. I am upgrading a 57/58 rear axle.

For instance th 64 jetstar &63 98 conv parts cars I posted notice here on jan 24 th may be it....if not...70 miles north of me in lansing mi is merlin melrose who used to have more than they made it looked like...

I dont think the jetstar uses the 9.3 inch rear end and the convertable is likely too heavy to have such a low ratio. I think it only occurs in basic 88 and Catilina without a/c. But i keep hoping one will surface. Ron

Update. I have purchased a very nice 2.56 carrier out of a 62 pontiac. I would like to retain my 1957/1958 axles. Can i move the internal side gears inside the case to the 2.56 case? Thanks. Ron

We cut 11/16" off a '63 98 axle to fit in my '57 housing with a '62 Pontiac 2:56 gear. Still working great after eight years.
