No markings. Were these manufactured with some standard rear axel or a variety of parts? Most look like a GM 48 inches wide, between brake drums.


Plenty of websites. The design engines were 283 and 327 IIRC from plans, so a '60's generation diff would seem to make sense. Several web sites with ID methods.

What model and serial number Gehrlein?


Thank you for the ref pages.

This winch was delivered with a very tired old 327. No winch model markings or serial numbers otherwise. Nothing found on the winch engineering site about stats or others experiences with one or two drum Gerhlein models or didn't look far enough.


After a little more digging, this may help assuming the diff is also chevy
