I've searched the forums, and the parts people have searched their reference books, and we can't find a seal for the diff on my 61' D100. It's the good ol' 8 3/4". Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Take it out and look for the seal number stamped into it. Or, measure it up and find one the same dimensions.

What are the casting numbers on the center section?
741,389,742 ? The seals are still available.

Are the pumpkins the same on the early tapered axle housings as the later housings?

657 is the standard in the 61 year, ID by the last 3 numbers on the case. This is the stock 3rd member and the seals should be available
