Rear end issues
Hey guys, just got the 69 cutlass home and had it out and my rear end is making a grind, clunk noise when put in gear. I had it put on flatbed and put in in my garage. I want to change the rear end anyway but what way to go. 9" ford rear end of a chev? Guy I bought car from had 9" but i did not take it. I was told by a gentleman that a chev will bolt up and I want a posi. I need some advice and help. First cutlass and new at this so any advice from you guys who know ur cars would be grate. Thanks.

I would check the universal joint going to the rear end, that maybe where your noise is coming from. I would fix that then take your time figuring out what you want to do. Are you going racing? just street or a mixture? It maybe cheaper to rebuild your old rear end and add a posi. Monzaz would be a good person to talk to.

I have a 68-72' 12 bolt passenger car Chevy 4:10 ratio posi rear for sale. Ready to bolt in just needs brake parts installed, however it does have backing plates.
68-72' A-Body Chevy 12 bolt housing, std, width, used
Moser "C" clip eliminator kits installed, new
Moser 31 spline race axles with 3" long 1/2" HD hardened wheel studs, new

Rear end set up by Walts Gears and Rears, in Tampa, Florida
Never used as it was my back up rear for my Olds bracket car.
Cost $1,950.00 to build in 2002 ( I am sure it would cost 15-20% more today). $1,750.00 plus shipping, pallet, binding, etc. Fastenal usually charges me $100.00 to $150.00 to ship a rear end east of the Mississippi.
I also have three 70' Olds "O" Type 12 bolt rears, 3:23 ratio, non-posi. All under 80,000 miles. Came from 1970 Rallye 350s that I scrapped. I drained fluid and inspected and all have minimal wear.

They are 8.5" 10 bolt ring gear, with 12 bolt Olds housing for 1970 A Body, (F-85 thru 442). These rears where the standard rear/ratio for all 1970 Rallye 350 models. Also, the 3:23 ratio was standard for 442/W30 with A/C. If you need just the ring and pinion the price is $250.00 and $30.00 labor to remove from rear, Total $280.00 plus actual shipping.

These are SE code 70'. I have three to sell. They will bolt right in for your 69'. They will of course need cleaning/painting. Your brake hardware will also bolt right up. The 70' rear have a much better and more reliable axle seal/bearing arrangement than the 68-69 rears.
