Hi Guys,
How do I check on a casting number on a rear end? Is there a source for that? Thanks for the help.

You don't tell the year in question, but you might check this web site... http://www.gnttype.org/numbers/axcodes.html :cool:

Just in case the web site referenced above doesn't cover your vehicle, locate the axle code on the back-left of the shaft housing. Let me know what you find and I'll identify what it's supposed to be. :)

Your 87 El Camino will either have a 2.41, 2.56, 2.73, or a 3.08 rear end. All 5th generation El Caminos are the same.

Take a look at this page to ID your rear end:
