Decoding/Numbers / POP axle code LJ1012G...LJ not in list?
« on: April 03, 2017, 06:17:40 PM »
Hi All,
I'm helping a friend with his 67 RS-SS convertible. The car is still apparently all numbers matching, and the block/cowl tag/Protect-o-plate match. The only thing I haven't been able to decode is the POP axle code "LJ1012G". "LJ" is not on any list I can find.
The car is an L48/4 speed/12 bolt, but I haven't been able to clean the axle tube yet to check the stamping.
Is this a typo? Should it be PJ perhaps?
Also, what's the proper nomenclature for a 67 Camaro with the 350SS option and RS package? If I had been at the dealership in '66, would the salesman have called this a 350SS, an SS-RS, etc? I always got the sense that GM hadn't really figured how to brand these cars until later in 68 or 69.
Thanks!
