Any way to identify what I need to replace this on my 88 K5?

And the million dollar question...

Anyone know where I can get a replacement near Charlotte, NC?

What gear ratio?

Probably gonna need a new cover, that one is easily repairable though.

But really, it would be helpful if you removed the cover so the damage can be assessed...

To me, it looks like the cover was cut open. You need to remove the cover and show us the insides.

That was my first thought too.

I thought the same thing until I noticed the piece of steel the same width of the hole sticking out near the bottom.

Looks like a good excuse to buy 14 bolt FF and a Dana 60 front.

I saw that but figured it was the cover torn down after cutting. I guess it might be ring toof? We still need pics of the inside @DGDamato , we need to see this carnage

Without seeing the inside, my guess is a GM Gov-Lock came apart.

Usually that hole in the cover like that means the center pin dropped out. Good old 10 bolts

Let's just say this is all that's left!!

I was at a stop sign turning right and it felt like my 8x10 trailer jumped off the ball and slammed into my frame next thing you know...I'm sitting at a standstill with her bleeding all over the road!

Anyone got 373, reduced slip with pozy near Charlotte, NC?

The RPO CODE in the glove box is G80 with GT4 gear set up.

The GM Govbomb lived up to it's nick name. I have removed plenty back when we had Squares in the fleet.

I was going to say that...

I will say some upgrades are needed in your future.

 

[DoubleDingo]

So you did cut the diff cover. Just not intentionally and did it from the inside, via torque. Kidding aside, that sucks. I hope you find a replacement to get your truck back on the road in a timely manner.
