Please post pictures of restored 8 3/4 rearends with factory markings. I'm looking for the markings for a 3:23 peg leg. I found a B on the back of mine. Thanks

Well my scanner is not working so here are a couple "pictures" I took of pictures with my camera. There is a B in a circle on the center section, as well as a G044 on the axle tube itself. This is 'unrestored' and just a couple pics I took for later reference. It is a '71 Superbee one-legger...should be close to what you've got.

Wow !! That "B" looks like it was written by the same guy. Wonder how close those to cars' serial number and SPD's are. Quickshft 8.75 looks like it's got tons of markings on it, including dropping a can of blue paint on top of the center section.

Does that center section almost look painted black??

My old Bee was born Nov 12 in the L.A. plant. Were axles assembled at the various plant locations? Or trucked in from a main "axle plant"?

My Road Runner was built in Sept.1970 in StLouis I believe. vin starts RM23N1G. I did see the B's looked very similar. I had a yellow N on the side of the carrier housing,but no other marks visible.

here is a shot of my 71 RR. It appears that the orange paint in under the markings. Car was purchased from the original owner and he said he never painted it. Windsor built.
