A week or two ago I asked the list where to find a differential cover
gasket for my 57 GMC 102 with the stock Spicer 45 rear end. Turns out
NAPA has the part, but if you look it up on their web site under:
Job Type Search
1957 GMC Truck 100 5.7 L 347 CID V8
Differential Service - Rear
Axle Housing Cover Gasket - Rear Axle
they point you to their part # P27846 which is for a round cover while
the
Spicer 45's cover is sort of pear shaped. A quick e-mail to NAPA's
customer
support brought the following reply:

Given the number, my local NAPA dealer had the proper gasket late
the same afternoon. $5.03 including the tax.
