I have a 69 fast back that the axle housing has a hair line crack in. It is right in front of where the springs rest on the housing. Would welding it be a temporary fix until I can find a used housing. Also is there an easy way to tell if it is an 8" or 9" rear end and what number of splines the axles have.
Any suggestions on where to look for a used housing would be appreciated.
