A friend has asked me about some truck rear ends. Currently he has a rear end under a 1954 first series chevrolet truck, it has a number on the front carrier of EA1206, he thinks that it is a 1947 Chevrolet passenger car rear end. He has another rear end that he wants to put into his truck with the the number either AO923 or AU923. If anyone can verify this info, please let me know.
Thanks,
@dunfire Patrick, none of those numbers appear in the Identification number section of my 1949 Master Parts Catalog. I can check a newer list for you in a while. As for the possibility of 1947 rear axle (wheel to wheel) fitting under an AD pickup truck, I can tell you that the track width is different and the spring mount spacing is different. This info is relevant to a 1951 1/2 ton pickup and I am assuming it would hold true for the 1954 also.
I once mixed parts and installed a 1954 Power Glide gear set in a 1951 pickup. I plugged the 3.55 torque tube into a 1948 housing and had to relocate the mounts on the housing.

Attached is a screen shot of a page from the 1947 passenger car vehicle information kit on gmheritage.com. It shows EA1206 is a passenger car 4:11 rear end built December 6th. I checked a few other years and found rear ends for 1941 start with “A” but can’t make sense of the other letter and numbers provided. Hope it helps a bit. Mike
Thanks guys
