Introduced around 1965, this model served as the standard for more than 30 years. While this center section is now obsolete, rear caps and side plates are still available, as are bearings, lower shafts, and axles. Used center section castings are sometimes available. Usually the best option is to upgrade to the 4-bolt rear end, which can be built as a shifter or a non-shifter.
