Looks like a 20 to me. But those ears on the chunk say "G" body.

Found this on the currie enterprises website.. looks like a match to me.. what you have is definitley not from an F- body.
The Currie Stage II GM A & G body Rearend
Chevelle - Malibu - El Camino - Monte Carlo - Cutlass
Gran Sport - Le Mans - GTO - Grand Prix

Isn't that just a 9" setup for a G-body?
I don't see any diff cover bolts.
Any even halfway modern rear drive coil spring GM car is going to have those upper control arm "ears", that narrows it down to what, 1964-2002 cars? Not very precise.

Yeah thats just a 9" which is not under this Camaro
I don't see anything other than a dana 20 that it could be.
That rear cover, along with that "truss" running under the center section, will give that axle away to someone who knows what it is. The upper control arm ears are pretty much pointless, that is a generic feature for most coil sprung rear axle cars, regardless of make.

Sorry, Just saw the picture and keyed on the ears and diff cover.. didn't read the description.. I'm guessing, just like everyone else.
Wonder if there are any ID numbers left on the axle tubes..

Yeah I think its the AMC 20... looks like the one under my buddies CJ5
Yeah, that's the closest I can get but Dyeager says, the ears and truss would identify it to someone. I've spent hours searching but still can't find a match. I don't think the m20 has that truss thing either, but I've not had the opportunity to get under one and look for myself.daleearnhardt01 said:

As for the Camaro rearend , it looks like an old A-body 10 bolt , NON Chevy style . They had 12 bolt covers , the trailing arm ears like any other A-body , and 10 bolt ring gears
I was the Chevelle guy before I died and was ressurected as a Blazer owner

I've only seen these with 10 cover bolts. Got any links or photos?pauly383 said:As for the Camaro rearend , it looks like an old A-body 10 bolt , NON Chevy style . They had 12 bolt covers , the trailing arm ears like any other A-body , and 10 bolt ring gears

Why can't people just use mainsteam stuff?!!!!
Whats above the pinion snout? The other pictures online I could find of a 20 showed a pair of lumps over the pinion snout cast into the housing. In your picture it looks like something there, but can't tell clearly.
Couldn't find a single picture of a 20 online from the angle you shot, showing whether they have a "truss" like yours.

There's 3 equally spaced square 'lumps' around the snout.
Lemme see if I can find the 20 pictures I was looking at last night.
These were more tear-dropped shape as I recall.

Well looking at some pics , the cover is too round to be a 67 Olds 8.5 axle ( http://www.oldsmobility.com/10bolt-tech.htm ) . I still kinda think it may be .
The ears looked cast on due to the paint , are they welded on and ground smooth ?
I remember some sturdy axles from the 50's had round covers . I think this search is kind of fun

Well...it's got the 3 lugs on the snout like a 20. It's got a single side rib like a B, and it's got cast on ears and a round cover like the O ! But none of these have the 'truss'. The 20 is the closet.
Here's a view with the cover off. No part numbers on the r&p. Anyone recognise the posi/lsd unit? No brand castings/markings either....someone dis-owned this axle!!!

12 bolts are really scarce , I would actually run a 10 bolt with a quiet locker and good axles ( my plan on my Chevelle ) .
Or order a 12 bolt from mailorder parts , it would be a reproduction , but stronger .
