bearing cap ends - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Got a bare 12 bolt truck housing that was missing the caps. I found these, https://www.markwilliams.com/58100.html. I emailed them and they said they will work with a truck 12 bolt. I have to get them machined first though.

Has anybody used these? Any other options out there?

I picked up the housing for cheap, it came with 3.42 gears and 6 lug axles.I have a posi for it. Just need a rebuild kit and 5 lug axles. Its going into a 87.

Thanks

Yeah, I think so too. My mistake for not getting one with the caps.
