Earliest 3969341 and Latest 3894860 axles

[6667ss138]

I think so because I have a LOT of original May dated parts still on my car. I figure they were winding down and using up everything laying around knowing the shut down was coming. Trying to get rid of parts inventory.
According to William there were no cars manufactured at Norwood after July 11th until August 11th.
I will also ad that it would be surprising if they used up "everything" before the shut down so therefore I would assume that there were still parts around to be used up on the early August cars when production resumed on August 11th but that is only a guess.

A239
BU 0128 E

It is in my '68.  So, no '69 build date or VIN...

[bcmiller]

Looks like 0128 is the date.  You had 0218, so I modified your post so it matches the picture.

Thanks!

Here's an early 341.
08C CBL0806G1  I don't know the casting date.

Was the axel code " C BL" the last thing to get stamped ?

It looks like most rear ends the date is gang stamped, but the letters hand stamped?

Also, Kurt do you know the vin of that car?

[bcmiller]

Thanks Kurt!  Here is another one.  

341 casting number
CBS 0829G1
Casting date H 17 9

Can't verify it is a Camaro axle.  Might be from a 70 Nova.  It was found under a pickup truck.
