Hi!
I have an input shaft from REPUBLIC GEAR K222-1A W42A.
Is it for car or truck(carburized)?
Thank you!

Hello!
Are only original GM gear parts for trucks are marked with this blind holes?
Or were these markings adopt by aftermarket suppliers?
Thank you!

Thank you for this information!

Looking at shop manual truck and car gears should not be mixed.
Should does´nt really mean it is forbidden.
But in the post from MotorOnPushnPop

he wrote "The shape of each tooth, the so called tooth profile is slightly different on the truck gears..."
It seems that real car gears where not made by aftermarket suppliers.

Sorry!
One more question. I read in the shop manual, that only 3/4 and 1 ton trucks had carburized gears.Cars and 1/2 ton trucks had normal gears.
Is there a remark in the old Republic book that K222-1A W42A is for 1/2 ton truck?
