Title: BE rear end
Post by: VINCE Z28 on November 29, 2018, 08:09:24 AM
Ok I heard a guy on the internet say .... the BE code on a 1969 Camaro rear end has something to do with a person named Bob Edwards. Who is Bob Edwards?

Maybe the BU and BV were named after some of his relatives.

 Then I'd hate to know what 'BJ' stands for on my 67's rear.   ;)

Funniest thing I have heard all week. :)

Nope, just part of all the axle codes. They had to use letters.

My BS meter was  going off but wanted to know if I was missing something. The guy that said this was Patrick Glen Nichols. He was videoing a Barn Find 69 Yenko Camaro Vin: 124379N668616 on ( Muscle car barn finds.)

I watched the vid. My guess, he was stating the code phonetically so as not to be misunderstood. He should have said 'Bravo Echo'.

That guy does some pretty good videos. Not all 100% correct but for all the models he does pretty good.
