Thread: rear end interchange for 48 pontiac

Tweet

I want to get a spare rear end for my 48 pontiac silver streak but im not sure what years will have the same center section. I found a 41' sitting in the woods and was told, take what ever I want! does anybody know if this will work?

41 to 48 will be the same, as long as they are the same series. A body to A body, B body to B body. Pontiac used both bodies. Easiest way to tell, measure the width of the windshield. As long as both cars are the same, the rear end will fit. If it's different, the rear end won't be the same

Why not just put a 9 inch rear end under there? 9 inches are what most hot rodders use and are really good. If I had the money and all then that's what I would get....

I think he wants an original torque tube rear end so he has an extra.

Oh... I see. Alright then, nevermind what I said.

thanks for the replies. The reason I want to stay with this rear is because I already set up for my model A (Brackets already welded on). The 48 pont isnt a torque tube rear , it looks just like a ford 9" (w/a removable center section). Im hoping that the 41' that I found will have the same center just so that I will have a spare or maybe even a different gear ratio to choose from.
Thanks again.
