If so I'd LOVE to find a 3.73 posi-trac to replace my current 3.73 non-posi. It would be fun trying to spin 2 wheels with the 292. | | |

There's a difference in the ring gear spacing depending on gear ratio, but I'm not sure where the break point is. Sevral aftermarket suppliers offer posi units, but they're pretty pricey. Try the JEGS catalog. They've got a couple of different brands of posi units, or a check with your local Chevy dealer's parts department will probably get you some info on the factory unit.

I think it came off a '69 GMC stepside. Eaton made the positraction axles for GM in that period. I had a differential shop rebuild my 12-bolt on a '67 K/10 Sub, the original axles wore out and for some reason I couldn't get GM parts. So I went with Moser custom alloy axles and an Auburn posi. Spendy, but results were good. Then, after I bought my '71 GMC [K/5] Jimmy, I was pleasantly surprized to find it had a factory (Eaton) posi.
The '68 C/10 pickup has a 292 and it works good with a posi.
Also all 3 trucks have 3.73 ratios. The Auburn I got from ProGear in San Diego.
Every 25 years I like to rebuild that 292 just for GP
