Hi everyone. I'm new here and got a question about rear ends.
I have a 85 gmc sierra classic 2 wheel drive. It has a 10 bolt rear end. I purchased a 12 bolt rear end to replace it. I have a bunch of casting numbers from the 12 bolt and just trying to figure it out what it is from. Why I'm asking is because I'm buying a locker of it and want to purchase the correct one. Any help will be great.

Inside on the gears it says 10:34 gm

These are all I found so far. If there is more please let me know

Thanks
Adam

Where did you get it from? Does it have leaf spring perches on it or coil spring perches? Is it supposed to be from a truck or a car?

Got it from a guy who has lots of truck and parts. He said he took it out of a 1978 1/2 ton chevy.
It has leaf spring perches on it

Also found other marking on axel st(either c or g) can't make out which one.

Any info will be great

Can you post a picture of it? Really any locker for a truck 12 bolt axle should work though.
