The C-Clip 10-Bolt Axle Set for Chevy Nova 62-67 is a purpose-built rear axle assembly engineered for classic muscle car restoration and high-performance street builds.

The assembly integrates directly with original-equipment mounting points, minimizing custom fabrication and ensuring proper geometry and handling characteristics. Installation pairs best with corresponding driveshaft and differential gearing selections tailored to your intended power level and driving style—consultation with a trusted Chevy performance shop ensures optimal ring-and-pinion ratio and brake clearance for your specific build.
