Does anyone know the correct name of the Warren axle plant? Does anyone know where to find any history about their operations? Thanks?

Re: Warren Axle Plant

Well, most GM plants had a number of name changes over the years as GM "re-organized" and "re-jiggered" the various manufacturing divisions. At one time it was called "Chevrolet-Warren" even though it made components for all GM cars and trucks. Later, I believe it became a transmission plant and likely was transferred to the Hydramatic Division which later became part of GM Powertrain. I believe it was closed in the last several years although I think I just heard that GM was making respirators there.In Appreciation of John Hinckley -

Did Dana ever make rear ends for Corvettes? I was told that the patterns I was making for the foundry Carrier & case castings was for a Corvette in the 60'S65 350 TI CONV 67 J56 435 CONV,67,390/AIR CONV,70 454/air CONV,

Dana made differential components for early C1 Corvettes with positraction units and also C2 1963 - 64 with positraction were a Dana design unit.
Corvette 1980 - 82 used a Dana " 44 " series differential. C4 Corvettes were fitted with either Dana " 36 " or Dana " 44 " depending on transmission used. The differential cross member support for C2 and C3 should have the Dana " diamond " logo on it.

Thanks . that is what I thought. Think Dana was the first to make the pos. rear ends. The factory is in Fort Wayne IN, near where I lived & worked. Castings were made at Albion Malleable in MI.65 350 TI CONV 67 J56 435 CONV,67,390/AIR CONV,70 454/air CONV,
