Anyone here have any experience with Cadillac rear ends? My truck came with what was discribed only as "a caddy rear end." Its a very large rear end with no rear cover plate. The axles come out and the center section drops like a 9". I want to say its about 58" wide and has very large drums. (it has been a while since I measured it, and I have no pics at this time, but if someone would like pics to help ID it, I will get some ASAP). Its also got a large bolt pattern. 5 on 5 maybe? the 5 on 4.75" wheels the PO had put on it have the lug holes ovaled to fit. The only numbers on the thing, are in the iron chunk. "1489653" on the bottom and a "36" on the top. The chunk is also held into the housing with 14 studs. Near as I could tell from counting rotations, is that is has 3.07 gears also.
Its been a nice rear end, but the bolt pattern and width dont please me so much. But Id like to know what this thing is just the same.
thanks.
