Chevs of the 40s lists but unavailable until further notice. Other sites list a seal that works from 1946-1972, but not sure I trust that. Anyone know where I can pick up a pair? | | | | | Joined: Mar 2004 Posts: 874 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Mar 2004 Posts: 874 | Local parts store is your best bet. Got my last pair at Autozone or NAPA.

The 8 lug HO52 and 8 lug HO72 were basically the same, just different ring/pinion center section combinations. | | | | | Joined: Aug 2005 Posts: 1,186 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Aug 2005 Posts: 1,186 | Go get them in Denver here. I bought mine from their store here locally in Rapid City yesterday for my 1 ton.

Current fleet (subject to change w/o notice) \'49 GMC 3/4-Ton , 60 Austin Healey Frog-eye Sprite (some assembly required), 2011 Dodge Avenger, 2015 Jeep Cherokee. No, they don't all run. My other ride is a (B737)no, (B767)no, A320.... Update... was Embraer E190, now Boeing B787. Knowledge is a wonderful thing, but ignorance means you don't know you can't do something.
