{"product_id":"c3-1978-1979-chevrolet-corvette-heavy-duty-rear-end-cover-ca-30957","title":"C3 1978-1979 Corvette Heavy Duty Rear End Cover","description":"\u003cp\u003eProtect your Corvette's rear differential with this 1978-1979 Chevrolet Corvette Heavy-Duty Rear Differential Cover - Cover Only. Designed as a direct replacement for the factory differential cover, this heavy-duty reproduction features reinforced spring mounting pads that provide significantly greater strength than the original cover, helping prevent cracking around the rear spring mounting bolts—a common failure point on factory covers. Constructed from premium heavy-gauge cast material, this upgraded cover is built to withstand the demands of high-performance driving while maintaining proper differential alignment and sealing. This listing includes the cover only and is ideal for owners who already have a serviceable gasket, drain plug, and mounting hardware.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eManufactured to meet or exceed OEM specifications, this restoration-quality differential cover is precision machined for an accurate fit and dependable sealing performance. It accepts the factory rear spring mounting hardware and is available in the correct application for both early and late C2\/C3 Corvettes. For 1978-1979 models, verify the rear spring mounting bolt size before ordering, as Chevrolet introduced a larger 7\/16-inch spring plate bolt during production. Whether you're replacing a cracked original cover, upgrading for added durability, or completing a high-performance drivetrain restoration, this heavy-duty cover delivers the factory-style fit with greatly improved strength.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFeatures \u0026amp; Benefits:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeavy-duty replacement rear differential cover\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCover only (gasket, drain plug, and hardware sold separately)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFits 1978-1979 Corvette applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReinforced spring mounting pads help prevent cracking\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeavy-duty construction for increased durability\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrecision-machined gasket sealing surface\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHelps protect internal differential components\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eManufactured to meet or exceed OEM specifications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIdeal for restoration and performance applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDirect replacement installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProduct Details:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProduct Type: Rear Differential Cover\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eApplication: Cover Only\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLocation: Rear Differential Housing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: Heavy-Duty Cast Construction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReinforced Spring Mount Bolt Area\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOEM-Style Replacement\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDirect Bolt-On Installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRestoration-Quality Component\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFactory-Correct Fit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDesigned for Long Service Life\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFitment:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1978 Chevrolet Corvette\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1979 Chevrolet Corvette\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFits C2 and C3 Corvette models\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatible with factory and OEM-style rear differential housings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFor 1978-1979 applications, verify rear spring width and spring mounting bolt size before ordering\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGasket, drain plug, and mounting hardware are sold separately.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"CA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53189226496365,"sku":"A330957","price":250.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0032\/6683\/8574\/files\/30957-1.png?v=1783029839","url":"https:\/\/www.westcoastcorvette.com\/products\/c3-1978-1979-chevrolet-corvette-heavy-duty-rear-end-cover-ca-30957","provider":"WestCoastCorvette.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
