If you happen to be in the deep south I'll sell you the one in my parts car. Cheep. Or are you looking for something custom?

Well, the car was running and driving before a tree doing 65 jumped out in front of it. There's got to be a rear end between here and Iowa, probably one from a Skylark or Chevelle would work as well. Let me know if you can't find one.

If you want same width you have to stay with 64-65 Olds A body. 66-72 differentials are all wider and may mandate different back spacing on your rear wheels. Keep in mind the spring retention type changes with later year differentials.

Good luck with your search.
